Beginning Tuesday, April 16th the Mount Bernard Reconstruction Project will start-up for the 2024 construction season with the following closures and detours in place:
– Traffic will be able to access Wellington Street and side streets via Main Street and lower Mount Bernard Avenue.
– The detour will be via O’Connell Drive, Bliss Street, Country Road, Poplar Road.
Transit stops on the lower portion of Mount Bernard up to Wellington Street will be available, however all other Mount Bernard Ave stops will close until further notice. New stops will be in place next to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary building on University Avenue for the duration of the project. Transit will detour via Wellington Street / Citadel Drive/ O’Connell Drive.
We ask that motorists use the designated detours as a thoroughfare and avoid the area unless they are local traffic to Mount Bernard, Wellington Street and adjacent side roads. Until further notice, on-street parking will be prohibited between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily on the detour roads. These measures help reduce traffic volume in a residential neighborhood and increase safety for residents. Please note that pedestrian access is restricted through the construction area.
