Road projects begin and are expected to finish up this week in Stratford.

Downie Street between St. David Street and Kent Lane is closed this week. 

The street is closed to through traffic from Monday to Friday for CN Rail track restoration work.

Traffic will be re-directed to Nile Street from Shakespeare Street and Guelph Street to avoid the closed section.

A four week resurfacing project begins on John Street today (Monday). 

In a post on the City of Stratford's Facebook page, it was announced that the project to resurface John Street from Huron Street to Queensland Road will be done in several stages over the next 4 weeks.

The first stage will focus on the stretch of John Street between Huron Street and Cambria Street, then Cambria to West Gore, then West Gore to Queensland.

John Street will be closed to through traffic in sections during construction. 

Also this week, the final coat of asphalt will be applied to Ontario Street, between Waterloo Street and Parkview Drive.

Weather-permitting, that project is expected to finish mid-week.
