Queen Street Access closure in Hamilton to begin next week

First Published:

The City of Hamilton will close the upbound (southbound) lane on Beckett Drive, otherwise known as the Queen Street Access, beginning Oct. 15 for safety wall repairs.

Traffic delays are anticipated.

The work will be completed between Amelia Street and Auchmar Road and the project is expected to take six weeks to complete, weather permitting.

According to the City, the 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 Rail detour has been established. Information is available at ‘Schedules & Detours‘ on the City of Hamilton website.
