Get ready for some street changes! On January 24, 2026, a portion of Albert Street will be temporarily transformed due to the 80 Elgin rehabilitation project.
Mark your calendars: The closure will occur on Saturday, January 24th, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. During this time, a section of Albert Street will be completely closed to motorists, creating a temporary detour via Queen Street. But don't worry, pedestrians and cyclists, you're in the clear! This closure won't affect your usual routes.
Location-wise: The affected area spans both directions of Albert Street, specifically between Metcalfe and Elgin streets.
And here's where it gets interesting: While closures can be an inconvenience, they're often necessary for urban development and improvement projects. So, what's your take on temporary street closures for construction? Are they a necessary evil or a welcome change? Share your thoughts below!
