Care, Love and Hope Under Construction

Care, Love & Hope Under Construction at Arkansas Children's Hospital

Arkansas Children's Hospital is growing to create more space for clinics and patient rooms to provide more opportunities to care for children in Arkansas and beyond. We are currently in the preparation phase of a project to construct a new five-story South Wing to provide an additional 100,000 square feet of patient space. The information on this page will help you keep up with changing traffic patterns around the campus. As always, the safety of our patients, families and visitors remains our top priority.

Beginning Saturday, August 2, the intersection of Bishop and 10th Streets, across from the ACH Fitness Center will be completely blocked to thru traffic in order to finish the road widening project at that particular section of 10th Street.
