A major project to replace aging infrastructure in Ottawa's downtown core will require numerous road closures this summer.
The city is spending $47 million on the reconstruction of Albert, Queen, and Slater streets and Bronson Avenue. It will include the replacement of sewers and watermains, and allow for combined sewer separation, which the city says would reduce the potential for combined sewer overflows and basement flooding in the area.
Road closures for this work will begin Friday. There will be intermittent closures throughout the downtown core from June 2 to July 28. The city says as the various closures are in progress, on-street parking will be restricted. Local access will be maintained for residents, business owners and emergency vehicles. Pedestrian, cyclist and transit access will be maintained where possible, but there will be some detours on OC Transpo.Here is what will be closed and when over the next two months:Full closure of Slater Street, between Bronson Avenue and Bay Street.

The start and end dates may be adjusted depending on the progress of each phase and the weather.Bronson Avenue northbound at the Albert Street intersection will be closed.
