Eastbound motorists on Pitts Memorial Drive are advised that the C.N. Viaduct above Water Street has been reduced to one lane as repairs are completed.

The lane reduction ensures the safety of workers and motorists and allows the work to be completed as quickly as possible.

Motorists are asked to reduce their speed and watch for crews working in the area. To avoid delays, motorists are advised to take alternate routes. This lane is expected to reopen later this week.

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