Detours for motorists and Kingston Transit will be in place during this time, and access to local businesses will be maintained during the closure, the City noted.

The City of Kingston thanks all affected residents, businesses, pedestrians, motorists, and transit passengers for their patience and understanding during the temporary road closures.
