Traffic

Road work continues in Charlottetown today, weather permitting, and may cause traffic delays or road closures in some areas.

Sidewalk work will take place on Victoria Street between Spring Park Road and Spring Street; on Chestnut Street between University Avenue and Queen Street; and on the north side of Brows Lane.

The right turning lane on Capital Drive onto North River Road will be closed for the week to allow for storm sewer pipe installation. Traffic control personnel will be onsite, as traffic will still be permitted to make a righthand turn at this intersection, through the through lane on Capital Drive. It’s anticipated that traffic will experience some delays, so drivers may want to seek alternate routes.

Construction for the Water and Sewer Utility Infrastructure Renewal program will continue with traffic impacts along Belvedere Avenue this week. Traffic control personnel will be on-site. Drivers may want to seek alternate routes. Sidewalks in the area may also be impacted.


Weather

Today’s high is plus 5 C with a UV of 3, or moderate. Temperatures are expected to rise to 10 C by tomorrow morning.
