Mission Hospital is building a new sky bridge/walkway over Biltmore Avenue. The bridge will serve employees who park on the west side of the busy street and have to get across the street to Mission’s main campus.

Crews will close down Biltmore Avenue from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. tonight, and at the same time Friday, for construction.

This will be the third bridge over Biltmore Avenue connecting the sprawling hospital complex.

The photo above was taken a few weeks back. I’ll see if I can get a fresh shot.
