Updated March 27, 2026:

The sidewalk closure scheduled for March 18-27 has ended. The area is open to pedestrians.

The sidewalk along the Wallace Tumor Institute on 19th Street South will be closed March 18 through March 27, to accommodate repairs to the sewer lines serving the building. 

Temporary construction fencing will be installed in the work zone, and sidewalk‑closure signs will be placed at both ends of the affected area. Aside from construction noise, no additional disruptions are expected for building occupants.
