Location: Union Street, between Bedford Highway and civic 14 Union Street

Date: Monday, Aug. 17 to Wednesday, Aug. 19

Time: 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Work details: This is to facilitate guiderail installation work in support of the Moving Better goals outlined in the 2026-2030 Strategic Plan.

Traffic impact: This section of Union Street will be reduced to one-way outbound traffic toward Bedford Highway while this work is underway. There will be no access to Union Street from Bedford Highway.

Access to Union Street and the surrounding neighbourhood will be maintained via a signed detour route starting on Rutledge Street and using the trail connection between Basinview Drive and Shaffleburg Run as a temporary road.

People walking, rolling and cycling are asked to follow directions from traffic control personnel and exercise additional caution when travelling through the area and be aware of construction activity and vehicle movements.
