Construction related to Hamilton's Light Rail Transit (LRT) project will see the full closure of a major intersection in the city's east end for three days next week.
Parkdale Avenue at Main Street East in Ward 4 will be closed from Monday to Wednesday, said the City of Hamilton in a new release.
Workers will install a large watermain across Parkdale Avenue as part of the ongoing work to prepare for the LRT.
"These early construction works are a critical part of ensuring roads are safe, reliable and built to service residents and businesses now and in the future when the LRT is in operation," said the news release.
Residents can use side streets west of Parkdale Avenue and bus detours can be found online.
"We understand that road closures can be disruptive, and we appreciate your patience as we work to deliver long-term benefits to Hamilton's streets and neighbourhoods," said the city.
