PEI Transportation officials say that construction is underway on intersection improvements that are coming to the Hillsborough Bridge area. That construction is taking place until mid-November, with the improvements costing $2.6 million. The work includes:
- Widening the road by the right turn ramp from the Hillsborough Bridge to Riverside Drive
- Constructing a through lane from Grafton Street to the Hillsborough Bridge
- Repaving and concrete work throughout the intersection
There will be no lane closures for Stratford to Charlottetown traffic from 7:00 am to 9:00 am, and no lane closures for Charlottetown to Stratford traffic from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. The right turn ramp from the Hillsborough Bridge to Riverside Drive will stay open throughout the project.
Officials add that the intersection improvement project is happening on the opposite side of the City of Charlottetown’s work on Grafton Street.
