Construction resumes on a busy thoroughfare in St. John’s as the city continues work on the shared-use path.
Street rehabilitation and the installation of the shared-use path starts today. Upgrades from Bonaventure Avenue to Westerland Road were mostly completed in 2023 with the remaining work in that area to be completed early this summer.
Drivers can expect traffic delays, detours and lane reductions. The city will provide updates on traffic interruptions during the project.
Once the multi-year project is complete, improvements will include new sidewalks and a paved shared-use path adjacent to Memorial University, a new traffic signal at the Elizabeth Avenue/Newtown Road intersection, an upgraded crosswalk and intersection at Elizabeth Avenue and Whiteway Street, two new crosswalks with flashing beacons at Clark Place and near Halliday Place, as well as improved street lighting.
