Traffic
Main Street from Clegg Street to Riverdale Avenue will be completely closed to traffic (northbound and southbound directions) on Saturday, June 10, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. for the placement of the top lift of asphalt. In case of rain, this closure will be postponed to Saturday, June 24. The closure is required for the safe paving of the top lift of asphalt in this narrow section of Main Street.

As part of this closure, the Riverdale Avenue intersection will be completely closed to traffic for paving from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. Local detours for local traffic will be in place.

During the closure of Main Street, OC Transpo buses will be detoured via Clegg/Marlowe/Elliot. For the morning closure of the Riverdale Avenue Intersection, OC Transpo buses will be detoured via Glenview/Toronto. On-street parking will be restricted on the OC Transpo detour routes.

The cycle tracks south of Clegg will remain closed until they are completed later this summer.
