PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (DOT) has announced that the North Street driveway to Berkshire Medical Center (opposite the hospital's main entrance) will be closed as of Monday, June 3 and will remain closed for approximately six months. 

 

This closure is the result of the ongoing DOT traffic circle project near the Medical Center.

 

During this phase of the project, the primary BMC campus entrance for vehicle traffic will move to the Charles Street driveway entrance, located between the Patient Parking Garage and the Medical Arts Complex.

 

When traveling North and South, use Wahconah Street to Charles Street to reach both Emergency and hospital entrances.

 

Ambulance traffic will continue to access the Emergency Department by using Wahconah Street. This entrance is for ambulances only.

 

Free valet parking continues to be available both at the main BMC entrance circle and in front of the entry to the BMC Medical Arts Complex.
