Garage in Center Wheeling to Be Removed in March

Dismantling of Centre Market Parking Structure is slated to begin in March. The following is a schedule for the work:

• Chapline Street between 20^th and 22^nd streets will be closed beginning March 4, 2024, for 11 months. Access will be maintained to the Wheeling Police Department Headquarters and Dr. Ganzer’s parking lots.

• Demolition of the bridge from the former OVMC to the parking structure will begin on March 25, 2024.

• Demolition will then move to the Wheeling Police Department side of the parking structure in mid-May 2024 with the side closest to Centre Wheeling Fellowship Church beginning in August 2024.

• Dismantling along Market Street is planned for January 2025. There will be parking relocation for two two-week periods around that time. Two-way traffic will be maintained on Market Street at all times.

• The dismantling of the center portion of the parking garage is slated to begin in February 2025.

The schedule was finalized this week and is subject to change but gives a guideline for the project’s major mileposts for the next 12 months. As the project moves along and as events warrant, this schedule will be updated.
