The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure wishes to advise that the CN Viaduct on Pitts Memorial Drive will be temporarily closed between the Kilbride exit and the downtown entrance from June 21 to July 21. The closure is necessary for safety purposes to carry out extensive concrete repair work required on both the eastbound and westbound lanes.

Closing both lanes for a one-month period will allow work to advance without interruption, avoid safety risks to the public, reduce the period of temporary bridge closures, as well as the implementation of load restrictions for trucks.

During the closure, alternate routes for trucks and/or tractor trailers on the eastbound portion to enter the downtown area include:

• New Gower Street, Duckworth Street, and Cavendish Square

For westbound traffic, alternate routes include:

• Kings Bridge Road to Torbay Road to the Outer Ring Road
• MacDonald Drive at Torbay Road to access Columbus Drive

Information on active highway construction projects and repairs is also available by visiting nl511.ca  and on the NL 511 mobile app.
