Downtown London, Ont. intersection to see round-the-clock BRT-related roadwork: city
The downtown intersection of Queens Avenue and Richmond Street will see 24-hour-a-day construction work this week as progress continues on the Downtown Loop portion of the city’s planned bus rapid transit network.
The round-the-clock construction, which comes as part of the second of three phases of the loop’s construction, began Monday and is expected to continue until at least Saturday. The work is to allow for the completion of necessary underground work, including the installation and replacement of water main and storm sewers beneath the roadway, the city said.“Above ground, traffic conditions will not change due to the intersection closure currently in place. Access will continue to be maintained to nearby properties during this work,” read a city advisory.
The second phase of Downtown Loop construction began earlier this year and is focused on the project’s Queens Avenue and Ridout Street sections. Queens Avenue is closed between Richmond and Talbot, while Ridout is closed between Fullarton and Queens. Phase 3, focusing on Wellington Street between Queens and York Street, is slated to begin next year, while Phase 1 of construction, dealing with the King Street portion of the route, began in April 2021 and wrapped up that December save for minor above-ground work.
