Update: Victoria Avenue construction
HAMILTON, ON – May 14th, 2012 – Beginning Wednesday, May 16th, Hamilton’s Public Works Department will implement some traffic pattern changes on Victoria Avenue as part of the ongoing construction project in that area. For the next two months, only one lane will remain open on Victoria Avenue from Barton Street to Birge Street. Following that restriction, traffic will continue to be impacted on Victoria Avenue for the duration of the project.
The west curb lane along Victoria Avenue between Robert and Barton Streets will be converted to an access lane for emergency vehicles only. This lane will be clearly marked and signed. No left turns will be permitted from Victoria onto Barton Street (westbound). Traffic delays in this area could be up to 30 minutes due to the CN rail crossing at Birge Street so motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes when possible.
The work on Victoria Avenue began in mid-April and involves the replacement of a water main, installation of a new storm/sanitary sewer, road reconstruction and resurfacing. The project is scheduled to be completed by late November.
Every effort will be made to complete this work in an expeditious manner and to keep any inconvenience to a minimum.
