ALTON – Removal of an MRI machine will result in the complete closure of the circle drive outside Alton Memorial Hospital beginning at 6 a.m. on Friday, July 26. The planned crane lift is scheduled for 9 a.m. The area is expected to be open again by the end of the day.

All entrances and exits to the hospital that lead out to the circle drive will be closed for the duration of the crane lift. The Duncan Wing valet entrance and the Olin Wing entrances (Family Care Pharmacy and Human Motion Institute) will be open, although traffic will be diverted in those areas.
