Lincoln Alexander Hall

The removal of construction hoarding at Lincoln Alexander Hall will take place between late April and early June, resulting in temporary traffic and pedestrian disruptions along Main Street West.

From April 27 to May 11, the westbound side of Main Street West will experience a single-lane closure, alongside a full sidewalk closure adjacent to the work area. Lane closures will occur Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. During this period, traffic delays and pedestrian detours may be required during active construction hours.

From May 11 to June 8, work will continue with a sidewalk closure only, and no vehicle lane closures are anticipated.

Pedestrians will be required to follow posted detours during the temporary sidewalk closures.
