Construction resumes today on Elizabeth Avenue

The construction of street rehabilitation and the installation of a shared-use path on Elizabeth Avenue will resume today.

Upgrades from Bonaventure Avenue to Westerland Road were mostly completed last year with the remaining works in this street section to be completed early this summer.

Construction for 2024 will include the section from Westerland Road to Freshwater Road.

The project will provide new sidewalks and a paved shared-use path adjacent to Memorial University, extending from Bonaventure Avenue to Paton Street. There will be a new traffic signal at the Elizabeth Avenue/Newtown Road intersection, an upgraded crosswalk and intersection at Elizabeth Avenue and Whiteway Street two new crosswalks with flashing beacons at Clark Place and near Halliday Place, and improved street lighting.

Traffic delays, detours and lane reductions will be required while work is ongoing.
