Construction Activities - Canada

Road Closures

Sandwich Street 

• Starting June 12, 2024, and lasting approximately six months, Bridging North America will have rolling full closures of Sandwich Street in place, within active construction zones to ensure the safety of the construction crews currently undertaking the work.
  • These closures will allow for crews to complete reconstruction work.
  • Construction activities will continue to take place in the following segments:
    • Chappell Avenue to Prince Road
    • Prince Road to South Street
    • South Street to Brock Street
    • Brock Street to Chewett Street.
  • Traffic is being detoured around the active work zone as follows:
    • All truck traffic will use Russell Street for both directions of travel.
    • All non-truck traffic will use Peter Street for northbound travel and Russell Street for southbound travel.
• During construction, parking on Sandwich Street will not be permitted but available on side streets and outside active work areas. Active work areas will be marked with temporary “no parking” signage.
• For more information about active road closures, we encourage you to visit the project website at GordieHoweInternationalBridge.com.
