Construction beginning on major highway upgrades through downtown Nanaimo
NANAIMO — Expect delays through the city’s downtown over the coming months.
Crews are starting work on improving underground infrastructure and other surface upgrades to Terminal Ave. between Commercial St. and Esplanade.
Traffic will be reduced to a single lane in each direction through the work site, which also doubles as Hwy. 1 through Nanaimo.
Storm sewer and watermain replacements headline the underground infrastructure work, while new sidewalks, bike lanes, street lighting and park layouts for both the Italian Fountain and Pioneer Square Park are also planned.
