Golf Links Road

Golf Links Road from Crystal Street/Cascade Crescent South to Fairbank Crescent will close to vehicular through traffic on Tuesday, July 14, as part of the ongoing Golf Links Road expansion project.
 
The closure will allow the McIntyre River bridge to be reconfigured to accommodate four lanes of traffic. In addition, new steel pedestrian bridges will be built across the McIntyre River.
 
Pedestrians will continue to have access to the area while work is being done by utilizing a marked corridor. All those walking in the area during the work period are asked to obey posted signage.
 
Access to River Terrace will be available from Oliver Road at the south end of the construction zone only, via the Golf Links Road and Crystal Street/Cascade Crescent South intersection.
