The City of Hamilton will close the southbound lane on Beckett Drive, otherwise known as the Queen Street Access, Oct. 15 for retaining wall repairs that could last six weeks.
The work will be completed between Amelia Street and Auchmar Road and the project is expected to take six weeks, weather permitting.
Traffic delays are anticipated.
The City says the retaining wall was damaged in a motor vehicle accident, and the necessary repairs will include work on a barrier wall, safety wall, planter and handrail.
The Dundurn stairs will also be closed, as construction will affect access at the top of the stairs.
Motorists and transit customers are encouraged to allow extra travel time and are advised to take alternate routes to avoid the closure.
A Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) detour has been established. Information is available at ‘Schedules & Detours‘ on the City of Hamilton website.
