Work crews have finished removing concrete barricades to eventually allow pedestrian crossing at Portage and Main, but work at the intersection continues.
Temporary fences will soon be up at all four corners as crews continue underground and utility work, the City of Winnipeg said in a news release Friday.
Lane closures will remain unchanged until that phase of work is complete. A list of the closures is online.
New lane closures are expected in April, when work to rebuild centre medians and other utility adjustments begin.
Work began at the site last year. Pedestrian traffic has not been allowed at the intersection since 1979. Councillors voted in March to reopen the intersection. The city is also studying options to close the underground portion of the site, though no date has been set to do so.
It’s expected the intersection will open to pedestrians by July 1.
