The City of Columbia’s Lady Street Parking Deck will be closed for structural structural repairs beginning in November.

The work is expected to take approximately 12 weeks. Public and visitor parking will be unavailable, and monthly parking arrangements will be “modified,” according to a press re lease from the city. 

The project marks the start of Phase 1 of the city’s multi-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), a strategic investment in revitalizing and maintaining public parking infrastructure across Columbia.                                                 

The work at the Lady Street deck and other facilities during Phase 1 will include:

• Repairing concrete spalls, delamination, and exposed reinforcement.
• Addressing cracks on concrete surfaces.
• Replacing deteriorated joint sealant.
• Installing new expansion joints.

These updates are designed to improve safety, prolong the life of the parking decks, and help maintain an efficient and accessible parking experience for the public.

The city also plans enhanced lighting, updated security cameras, deep cleaning, and fresh painting across city-owned parking decks.

Signs will be placed at the deck before and during the construction process to inform parkers of the work taking place and guide them to nearby alternative parking options.

Parking Services has already reached out directly to reserved parkers regarding coordination of parking arrangements.

Similar repairs will follow for the Taylor Street Deck, Arsenal Hill Deck and Sumter Street Deck, one at time to minimize disruption.
