Drivers heading to downtown Grimsby this week will face a new disruption as watermain construction reaches the public parking lot entrance off Christie Street.
According to a Town of Grimsby construction update, crews will be working across the parking lot entrance on Thursday, November 5, and the impacts could continue into Friday, November 6.
The town says the work on this section of watermain is expected to be finished by the end of the week.
The Christie Street work is part of a broader watermain construction project that has been progressing along Christie Street toward Elizabeth Street.
Motorists should also note that Mountain Street has been closed between Elm Street and Main Street since Monday, October 19. The closure remains in effect while construction continues.
The town is urging residents to remember that downtown businesses remain open during the construction, and parking can still be reached through alternate routes.
"We recognize that construction can bring temporary disruptions to daily routines and appreciate your patience and understanding as crews complete this important infrastructure work," the town said in its update.
Officials say the goal is to give residents clear and timely information so construction is as predictable and manageable as possible.
"Thank you for your continued patience and support as we work together to reimagine downtown Grimsby," the town said.
