Public Advisory: Ruth Avenue Ramp to Pitts Memorial Drive Closed

Motorists are advised that the Ruth Avenue ramp to northbound Pitts Memorial Drive is closed to repair damage caused by heavy rain.

Crews are in the process of placing barricades and signage in the area. Closure of the ramp ensures the safety of workers and motorists and allows the work to be completed as quickly as possible.

Motorists are advised to use alternate routes to access Pitts Memorial Drive.

The Department of Transportation and Works appreciates the patience of motorists and assures the public that all steps are being taken to expedite repairs and to have the ramp opened as quickly as possible.
