A Portion Of Ellicott Street Closed For February

A portion of Ellicott Street in Buffalo will be closed for the month of February, as construction crews begin working on a bridge to connect the new John R. Oishei Children's Hospital to Buffalo General Medical Center. 

Ellicott Street will be closed between High Street and Goodrich Street, and here's how to access Buffalo General during the construction.

• The entrance to Buffalo General Medical Center on the corner of High and Ellicott Streets will remain open.

•  Patients and family members needing handicap friendly access should use the valet entrance at either the Gates Vascular Institute on Ellicott Street (accessed via North Street) or Buffalo General Medical Center on High Street.

• Handicap transport vans should only use Buffalo General Medical Center’s C-building entrance on High Street.

• If entering the Campus via North Street, there will be a road closure sign at Ellicott Street allowing only local traffic (patients and visitors) through to access the Gates Vascular Institute and parking garage.

• Self-parking will remain available in the ramp between E. North and Goodrich Streets across from the valet entrance to the Gates Vascular Institute on Ellicott Street and on the corner of High and Ellicott Streets.
