Upbound lanes of Claremont Access closed until November

The upbound lanes of Hamilton’s Claremont Access are now closed until November.

It is part of a project to build a new multi-trail network.

The upbound lanes will be resurfaced between Main St. and Inverness Ave., along with the ramp to West 5^th St. along the Mountain Brow.

The new trail will run along the same corridor, between Hunter St. and West 5^th St.

There will be side trail connections at four locations.

The city will be reducing upbound traffic to two lanes to make room for the trail.

The West 5^th St. ramp will be reduced to one lane.

Starting MONDAY: Construction in the upbound lanes of the CLAREMONT ACCESS. Upbound lanes will be completely closed starting Monday until November 2020 for resurfacing & construction of the new Keddy Access Trail. Project details: https://t.co/pv3bi231Pj #HamOnt pic.twitter.com/hOLn1JYztn

The trail will be known as the Keddy Access Trail, named after a popular Hamilton teacher who was killed cycling up the Claremont Access in December 2015.
