Beginning Monday August 19, 2019, waiting for trains at Waverley Street will be a thing of the past but to get that to happen the city says its needs to shut down traffic in the area for one more weekend.
Beginning at 5:30 pm on Friday August 16, 2019 and continuing until 6:00 am on Monday, August 19, 2019 the following areas will be closed to all vehicles so that construction crews can make the necessary changes to road access.
The closure boundaries for this weekend are:
- Taylor Avenue will be closed from the Re-Fit approach to Cambridge Street
- Waverley Street will be closed to vehicular traffic from Wilkes Avenue to Mathers Avenue
- Saturday afternoon and evening only, from approximately 13:00 to 21:00, no through traffic on Hurst Way / Wilkes Avenue at Waverley Street
Those on foot and cyclists will be able to use the new path on the east side of Waverley throughout the weekend.
Once traffic begins to use the new underpass on Monday crews will turn their attention to removing the detour road and reconstructing a portion of the Taylor Avenue intersection.
While this additional construction is underway they city has implemented several turning restrictions:
- Eastbound Taylor at Waverley, no left turn
- Northbound Waverley at Taylor, no left turn
- Southbound Waverley at Taylor, no left turn
- Limited through lanes (intermittent lane closures throughout site)
The construction in the area of the new underpass is expected to continue until November.
