A section of Simpson Street will be closed beginning Friday, August 9 to allow for renewal work on underground infrastructure in the area.

Simpson Street will be fully closed to traffic between Ogden Street and Cameron Street beginning on Friday morning. Signage will direct motorists to detours via McKenzie Street and May Street.

The closure is expected to be in place for 10 to 12 weeks as crews replace sewer, water, and stormwater infrastructure and resurface the roadway.

Sidewalk access will remain available on Simpson Street, but intermittent closures may occur during some phases of the work.

Motorists are reminded to reduce their speed and drive with extra caution in construction zones.
