Scheduled weeknight road closures on a major Oakville/Burlington roadway set to begin tonight (Nov. 28) have been delayed.
Construction on Dundas St. from Sutton Dr. to Tremaine Rd. to support improvements being made to Tansley Bridge have been moved back and are now set to begin on Dec. 12, 2022.
Work on the bridge to widen the road, add new sidewalks and bike lands, and provide new lookout points will see the section of Dundas St. closed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on weeknights.
The closures are expected to end by Dec. 23, 2022.
Oakville Transit says the work will require its Route 5 bus to be detoured.
For westbound travel towards Burlington, the 8:40 p.m. and 9:40 p.m. Route 5 from Oakville GO will travel as far as Dundas and Colonel William Parkway, where the bus will short turn and go out of service.
