The Diggin’ Downtown Huntsville project is getting ready to enter Stage 2 of construction in the upcoming weeks.
That means Main Street will soon be closed to traffic from Brunel Road to Centre Street including King Street, for Stage 2 work.
Upgrades and repairs to the driving surface on the swing bridge are almost done.
In early June, the bridge will be open to traffic and pedestrian access will remain open at all times.
Access to River Street will be closed until the bridge work is completed as this road surface will be used as a storage area for bridge equipment.
Some Stage 1 restoration work may continue during this time to allow crews to finalize sidewalk work including tree planting, installing the Brunel traffic signals and lamp posts. Staff are working with partners and vendors who continue to experience material and supply chain delays due to the pandemic – however they are optimistic this will not impact the schedule for opening the roadway to vehicular traffic.
Community Information Session
The Town of Huntsville and District of Muskoka will be hosting a Community Information Session via Zoom on Wednesday, June 2 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. to provide the community with updates on the project.
