Traffic Management

In order to expedite the work in a safe environment, vehicular traffic control measures will be in effect. During construction, one eastbound lane, and one westbound lane will be maintained for both stages.  Signage and lane delineation markers will be in place. 

Pedestrian Detour 

During construction, the pedestrian sidewalk on the south side of Victoria Street across the bridge will be closed for the duration of the project.  Pedestrian traffic will be detoured to the north via the Norfolk Sunrise Trail, Argyle Street and Culver Street.
