The Poplars Building and old IU Health hospital site in Bloomington are partially demolished. The Bloomington Board of Public Works granted road closures Tuesday to allow both demolitions to continue.
IU contracted Indianapolis-based Renascent, Inc. to complete both projects.
Poplars Building
Roads around the Poplars Building will be closed starting Wednesday. Closures last through Sept. 9, but mostly avoid IU move-in.
North Dunn Street will be fully closed from Seventh Street to the alley between the Poplars Building and parking garage Aug. 3-13. This closure also includes the east sidewalk on North Grant Street.
North Grant Street will be fully closed from Seventh Street to the alley Aug. 29-Sept. 9. This closure includes the west sidewalk on North Dunn Street.
The alley will be closed Aug. 3-Sept. 9.
The board of public works approved daytime closures July 19, but Renascent is now approved to close roads overnight.
Hospital Site
West First Street and the south sidewalk will be closed from South Rogers Street to Fairview Street Aug. 10-23. Renascent also plans to demolish the connecting power plant along the south side of First Street.
