Lane restrictions Monday at Queensway & Water Street

Beginning Monday, May 5, at 7 a.m. sidewalk removals will begin on the northwest corner of the Queensway and Water Street intersection to allow for shallow utility relocation. This work is in preparation for the road upgrades that will occur as part of the Queensway transit exchange and road upgrades.

Intermittent lane closures may occur. Two-way traffic and pedestrian crossings will be maintained. Traffic control personnel will be directing motorists and pedestrians. They appreciate the patience of residents, businesses and motorists while construction is taking place.

Construction is expected to be complete by Victoria Day weekend.
