and weekend 4-7 April
Central
city
Montreal/ Victoria St: Montreal one
lane north from 7 April
SCIRT work in the
Montreal/Victoria/ Salisbury intersection, at the Clock
Tower, will create significant delays for the next month.
• Both Montreal Street and Salisbury Street will be reduced to one lane at this intersection.
• Drivers need to allow extra time, especially at peak times or find an alternate northbound route like Fitzgerald Ave.
• Victoria Street will be closed at the Clock Tower, with access to Victoria St between Salisbury and Kilmore Streets via Peterborough St.
• This is some of the final wastewater connections in this part of the central city, started 15 months ago by SCIRT’s Fletcher team. Thanks to everyone who has made the effort and continues to make the effort to get to their local retailers/ cafes.

stream at different stages.
