In order to complete the re-construction of the Stratford overpass, the structure will be closed to traffic starting at 9 a.m. Friday, December 7. It will remain closed to traffic until 9 a.m. Monday, December 10, at the latest. The shut-down is required in order to install the new concrete deck. During the shut-down, outbound traffic will be re-routed onto the Stratford Road, then onto the Kinlock Road and then back onto Route One. Inbound traffic will be re-routed onto the Mason Road, then onto the Bunbury Road, and then onto the Hillsborough Bridge. Detours will be clearly posted. Traffic control personnel will be on-hand during peak times to assist in re-routing traffic. The Department apologizes for any inconvenience created by the detour.Media Contact: Andrew Sprague
