Underground Construction Starts on Prescott Street

Underground infrastructure installation will be completed at the Waldegrave and Water Street intersection in the coming days, and underground work at Prescott Street and Job’s Cove is starting on Mon. May 8.

A road closure at the Prescott Street and Duckworth Street intersection is required to facilitate this phase of work. Signage and flag persons will be in place.

The city apologizes for the inconvenience caused by this construction project, which is scheduled to be completed by June 30, 2023.
