Mud Street lane restrictions on Hamilton Mountain to start Monday

Mud Street West near Valley Park Recreation Centre will be reduced to one lane in each direction starting Monday.

The City of Hamilton said in a release that the four-lane street will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Paramount Drive and Isaac Brock Drive for about six months. Construction will include bridge repairs, new bridge railings, road resurfacing and new sidewalks.

The city also said the multi-use path under the bridge at Felker's Creek that leads into Valley Park will be closed and trail users are advised to take an alternate route.

Drivers and HSR passengers on route 43 should allow extra time to travel through the area as delays are expected.
