(Thursday, May 19, 2005) - Beginning on or about Wednesday, May 25th, construction related to the Harbour Solutions - Source Separation Project will necessitate the closure of Terminal Rd. from Hollis St. to Lower Water St. The expected duration of construction is approximately 3 weeks.

Sidewalks in the work area will remain open. Motorists are advised that parking zones in the work area will be closed. Motorists and truck traffic are asked to use alternate routing.
