Project Update – December 17, 2013 - Construction to Commence
Reconstruction of the St. James Street bridge over Omand’s Creek is schedule to begin in early January 2014 and will be fully complete by the end of June 2014.
In the first phase from January to mid April 2014, St. James Street from Dublin Avenue to Bangor Avenue will be shut down completely so that the bridge can be expeditiously reconstructed.
