Heron Road closure at Bank Street until August 31
May 29, 2025
Starting Sunday, June 1 at 8 am, Heron Road will be closed east of the intersection from Bank Street to Alta Vista Drive.
This closure is expected until August 31 as part of Phase 1 of the Bank Street Renewal Project.
This project involves the renewal of underground infrastructure—such as watermains and sanitary and storm sewers—along with road and sidewalk reconstruction, the addition of a cycle track, new street lighting, upgraded traffic signals, and streetscape improvements.
Detour route
A signed detour will be in place to direct motorists to use Walkley Road and Heron Road, east of Alta Vista Drive as the alternate route.
Bank Street will continue to be reduced to one lane in each direction from Riverside Drive to Collins Avenue. Please plan ahead and allow for extra travel time.
Access to local businesses
Bank Street businesses remain open during construction. Construction work will be coordinated to ensure uninterrupted customer access to local businesses.
Traffic impacts
Traffic delays around the construction zone are expected. Signage will be in place to notify residents of the impacted area.
OC Transpo
OC Transpo routes 41, 92, 689, and 698 are impacted by this closure. For more detailed information on detour routing via Alta Vista Drive, impacted bus stops, and alternative bus stops visit OCTranspo.com/alerts. Please allow a few extra minutes for your travels.
Pedestrians and cyclists
Pedestrian access will be maintained through the work zone at all times. Cyclists will be able to dismount and use the pedestrian route.
