Vehicle traffic will be reduced to one lane on a section of George Street between Hunter Street and Simcoe Street.

The work is expected to be completed in about four weeks.

Access for local traffic and businesses in the construction area will be maintained at all times. Vehicle and pedestrian traffic may experience delays within the construction limits.

A paid duty officer will help to direct traffic at the intersection of George Street and Simcoe Street as required. Pedestrian traffic is expected to be maintained through the work zone.

Surface restoration of the affected areas on George Street North will be completed following the underground repairs.

The emergency repairs are required to restore capacity to the storm sewer after it was recently discovered that a section of the storm sewer had partially collapsed.
