Directions to V.A. Hospital, Bedford.
Important Note: It is a Federal Offence to drive above the posted speed limits on the VA Hospital grounds and the
security forces are VERY strict about this. They'll just as soon give you a ticket as look in your direction. Please
stay below the posted speed limits!
From Boston
Take I-90 (Mass. Turnpike) to I-95/Rt.128 North. Take exit 31B (Rts. 4 & 225 to Bedford) from Rt. 128 and head
north. Just past the center of Bedford, you'll go past a large shopping mall on the right hand side of the road.
A Purity Supreme grocery stands out in the mall. Make a right on the street immidiately after the mall. There is
a small sign to the V.A Hospital on the right at the intersection. Keep going straight on this street through a
4-way stop sign and it will lead you right onto the grounds at the Hospital. Pull into the parking lot on the right
and drive towards the south-east corner (i.e, straight ahead and to the left.) The ground will be ahead on the
left.
From the West
Take 290 or 90 east to 495 and take 495 north to route 2 east. Take route 2 east until you reach route 62 (signposted
Bedford) and take this exit (on the left). Drive on 62 through Concord centre (it gets a bit complicated here,
so keep your eyes peeled for "route 62" signs. Take this road all the way into Bedford and it will merge
with route 4. Follow route 4 towards 128, and at the first set of traffic lights you come to there should be a
Shawmut bank on the left. Turn left onto the road just before the bank (Springs Road). Follow Springs Road (it
forks to the right) down the hill then turn left. At the four way stop sign go straight ahead into the hospital.
There will be a large parking lot on the right. Turn in here and follow the road all the way round, turning left
when you see the golf driving range in front of you, and if you can't see the ground by now, then you shouldn't
be driving without glasses.
