Heron Road closure at Bank Street until August 31

Starting Sunday, June 1 at 8 am, Heron Road will be closed east of the intersection from Bank Street to Alta Vista Drive. This closure is expected until August 31 as part of Phase 1 of the Bank Street Renewal Project. This project involves the renewal of underground infrastructure—such as watermains and sanitary and storm sewers—along with road and sidewalk reconstruction, the addition of a cycle track, new street lighting, upgraded traffic signals, and streetscape improvements.  Detour route A signed detour will be in place to direct motorists to use Walkley Road and Heron Road, east of Alta Vista Drive as the alternate route. Bank Street will continue to be reduced to one lane in each direction from Riverside Drive to Collins Avenue. Please plan ahead and allow for extra travel time.  Access to local businesses Bank Street businesses remain open during construction. Construction work will be coordinated to ensure uninterrupted customer access to local businesses. Traffic impacts Traffic delays around the construction zone are expected. Signage will be in place to notify residents of the impacted area. OC Transpo OC Transpo routes 41, 92, 689, and 698 are impacted by this closure.
