The two maps depict the surrounding roads around the City Hospital, in 2017 and 2010.
Overall, significant changes were made around the medical facility’s boundary. These include two roundabouts and two separate car parks; one for the patients and another for the employees. Besides, the existing bus stops were replaced with an all-inclusive bus stop.
In 2007, the Ring road around the hospital had an exit onto the Hospital road. Adjacent to the exit, one would have noticed a shared car parking. Additionally, three bus stops each, stood astride the hospital road. The hospital road would then join the City road.
In 2010, the infrastructure around the Hospital road saw major improvements. Firstly, the old parking was reserved for employees, however, on the eastern end of the hospital, a new car park was built for patients and visitors. Secondly, two new traffic circles were built on both its ends. Thirdly, a new bus terminal was constructed. The bus depot had two exits, one each on the roundabouts.
