With temperatures rising and snow disappearing from city streets, it’s time for orange cones and detours associated with road construction in Winnipeg.
On Friday the city announced several road closures starting in the next few days, some expected to remain in place for months.
The longest closure is set for Stafford Street from Taylor Avenue to Corydon Avenue. The stretch of roadway will close at 7 a.m. on Sunday and not reopen until Oct. 28.
Another long project is scheduled to start on Jubilee Avenue from Cockburn Street to Osborne Street at 7 a.m. Sunday and last until Oct. 14. The city says the southside walk will remain open throughout the work.
In the city’s northeast, Nairn Avenue will close from Stadacona Street to Watt Street on Monday at 6 p.m. until Aug. 31.
A shorter closure is scheduled for the St. James bridge.
