BRT construction going day and night in downtown London

The sounds of construction will ring out day and night this week in downtown London.

On Monday, city crews began 24-hour-a-day work at the intersection of Queens Avenue and Richmond Street as part of the bus rapid transit downtown.

The city says around-the-clock construction is required to finish installing and replacing watermain and storm sewers.

Regular construction noise should be expected during the day and overnight, the city said in a statement Monday. The 24-hour-a-day work is expected to wrap up on Saturday. After that, daytime operations will continue.

“Above ground, traffic conditions will not change due to the intersection closure currently in place,” city officials said. “Access will continue to be maintained to nearby properties during this work.”
