Hydro work continues today on Pine Street South, between Algonquin Blvd and Third Avenue.
Only southbound traffic is flowing.
The disruption, which is expected to continue until June 27, is due to a Hydro One project to upgrade an underground vault.
Earlier city news release:
For the next 6 to 8 weeks, motorists will only be allowed to enter Pine Street from Algonquin.
This lane closure is required in order for Hydro One to complete the upgrades to the underground vault located within the block. Once the work is complete, Pine will be re-opened.
We ask motorists and pedestrians to abide to all signage and thank them for their patience.
