A downtown Hamilton street is reopening on Wednesday (Nov. 25) to traffic after finally completing its conversion to two-way.

In a press release from the City, it was announced that the two-way conversion project on Victoria Avenue N, between Burlington and Ferrie Streets, has been completed.

There are a few things that crews are still working on that will impact some of the road’s use but only for a short time.

“Minor modifications are currently being undertaken at the intersection of Burlington Street East and Victoria Avenue N to allow westbound traffic on Burlington Street E to turn left onto Victoria Avenue N,” the release said.

“In order to complete this work, left turns onto Victoria Avenue N from Burlington Street E will be prohibited for approximately two weeks.”

Victoria Avenue N between Ferrie Street E and King Street E still remains one-way northbound.

The two-way conversion project includes upgrades to the cycling lane and enhancements to the existing at-grade railway crossing.
