Traffic and pedestrian impacts this week:

Closures:

* Frontenac Street – Jenkins to Princess – closed until June 27 to allow for framing, masonry and interior work for 501 Frontenac St.
* Park Street – Napier to MacDonnell – closed to 5 p.m. April 24 to allow for installation of a new storm sewer pipe

Delays:

* Highway 401 – at Highway 38/Gardiners Road – expect lane closures on the 401 until November 2020 and delays of up to 10 minutes nightly from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. on the westbound 401. Ontario highway updates are offered by the Ministry of Transportation.
* Highway 33 – 240m east of Collins Creek Bridge to 185m west of Coronation Boulevard – expect delays due to construction to improve drainage. Construction barrels and flag-personnel will direct traffic around the work zone. Ontario highway updates are offered by the Ministry of Transportation.

* Jackson Mills Road – near the K&P Trail – reduced to one lane for roadside safety improvements but remains open in both directions.
* John Counter Boulevard – Princess to Indian – expect increased delays until the summer of 2021, while crews construct new four-lane road and rail overpass. Use of alternate routes is recommended. Motorists: Before you cross the rail tracks, please ensure there is sufficient space on the opposite side to allow you to cross and be fully clear of the tracks. This will prevent you from being stopped on the tracks.

* La Salle Causeway – expect short delays due to a Public Services and Procurement Canada lane closure 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 28 and 29. One lane will remain open in both directions and flagpeople will control traffic. The bridge will remain open to cyclists and pedestrians during this period. In case of inclement weather, the work will be done on April 29. Questions? Email: Real Property Services, Public Services and Procurement Canada.

* St. Lawrence Avenue – expect delays through the end of April while crews construct the new elevated road surface.
* Taylor-Kidd Boulevard – eastbound Rockwell to Bexley – expect minor delays due to a lane closure on the south side from 7 a.m. April 28 to 5 p.m. on May 15 to accommodate installation of services for the West Village Subdivision.

Load restrictions in effect: until April 30, heavy trucks and loads are restricted on City roads, where posted. These restrictions help reduce damage to roads in the spring.
