Sections of Sutherland Avenue and Pandosy Street will be closed for the coming months starting next Monday, March 25.
The closure has been planned to accommodate phase one construction of the of the Sutherland Avenue Protected Bike Lane project.
During this time, Sutherland Avenue will be closed between Richter Street and Ethel Street, and the Sutherland Avenue westbound lane will be closed between Richter Street and the Mill Creek Bridge, with two-way traffic maintained at the Pandosy/Sutherland intersection.
In addition to the protected bike lane, work will also include traffic signal upgrades, utility upgrades, improved street lighting, sidewalk replacement between Richter and Ethel streets, and a new multi-use pedestrian/cyclist bridge at Mill Creek.
Construction will generally occur Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
When work on Sutherland Avenue and Pandosy Street is complete in July, construction will then begin on Ethel Street, between Sutherland Avenue and Springfield Road, to complete Phase 4 of the Ethel Street Active Transportation Corridor.
The new bike lanes on Sutherland Avenue and Ethel Street are expected to open together in November, once both projects are complete.
