Construction set for Arlington Street, Abinojii Mikanah

Paving work will see Arlington Street closed between Adele Avenue and Winnipeg Avenue on Saturday starting at 6 a.m.

Motorists are advised there will be no access from Arlington onto Notre Dame Avenue or vice versa, the city said Friday.

Traffic on Notre Dame will be reduced to one lane between Alverstone Street and Home Street, but sidewalk access won’t be affected.

Buses in the area will be rerouted and three transit stops will be relocated during paving. Roads are expected to reopen by 6 p.m. on Sunday.

The city also announced resurfacing work for the intersection of Abinojii Mikanah and River Road beginning Monday and lasting until Oct. 9.

Abinojii Mikanah will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Pembina Highway and St. Mary’s Road during that time, in addition to several lane closures. Sidewalks on the south side of Abinojii Mikanah and the east side of River Road will also be closed.

In addition, the intersection at Dakota Street and Dunkirk Drive in St. Vital will be closed Saturday from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. for paving work. Transit will be rerouted during the closure.

Drivers should expect delays and plan ahead, the city said.
