College Street – stop-and-go traffic in place with one lane maintained at all times. Summer Street – Southbound side will be closed to through traffic tomorrow (Wednesday) between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Access for local traffic and pedestrians will be maintained. University Avenue – an altered centre line will be in place between Summer and Martello streets. Access for local traffic on the westbound side of University Avenue will be maintained.      

The project follows the general route of College Street, Summer Street, University Avenue, South Park Street, and Clyde Street, then crossing Queen Street to the Sexton Campus. The municipality will continue to post updates on traffic conditions as the work progresses.
