Adelaide Street North will be closed for approximately 72 hours between McMahen and Elias Streets starting Wednesday, August 23, to lift the first of two new rail bridges into place for the Adelaide Underpass project.
A crane will remove part of the existing temporary rail bridge structure and place the new rail bridge piece on the south side of the tracks. A second closure is also planned for late September to lift the remaining rail bridge piece into place on the north side of the tracks.
LTC Routes 16 & 92 will be detoured along Piccadilly Street, William Street and Princess Street while this work is underway.

About the project
The City of London is reconstructing Adelaide Street North from Elias Street to just north of McMahen Street, and Central Avenue from William Street to Elizabeth Street.
The project is adding an underpass beneath the rail tracks, to allow traffic to continue flowing while trains are crossing; and adding intersection improvements and active transportation connections through the area, including wide multi-use paths on both sides of Adelaide Street.
