After months of construction, Locke Street reopens to vehicle traffic on Monday: city

After close to seven months of construction, Locke Street will reopen on Monday night.

In a Twitter post on Friday, the city of Hamilton revealed that a significant stretch of the roadway will be open on Monday night between Main Street and Bold Street.

The roadway, home to a vibrant business and retail district, has been closed since March for a major reconstruction project to widen sidewalks, and build better pedestrian crossings.

Ward 1 Coun. Maureen Wilson in a social media post on Friday said the final layer of asphalt and line painting was completed on Friday and that temporary two-way signage on Jackson, Canada, Hunter and Bold street will be removed following the reopening on Monday.
