Road renewal work has begun on Wellington Street between Vimy Place and Kent Street.
The city says construction will involve concrete sidewalk and curb repairs, milling of the existing surfaces, and roadway resurfacing.
In order to minimize disruptions, daytime work will focus on the concrete work and be limited to medians, crosswalks, or parking lanes, while road resurfacing will be completed at night.
You may experience increased noise levels required to facilitate construction in the area and weekend work is also.
Traffic interruptions may also be experienced due to flagging operations, though the city says the work will not impact special events planned in the downtown core.
The work, which is part of the city’s annual resurfacing program, is expected to be completed by November 2024.
Traffic impacts and OC Transpo:
- Wellington Street will remain open during daytime construction work to minimize impact during peak traffic hours. Lane closures can be expected during night work, however one lane in each direction will be maintained at all times.
- There are no impacts to OC Transpo routes.
Pedestrians and cyclists:
Pedestrian and cyclist access will be maintained at all times.
