What this means for you

  • Check before you go. The City updates its detours page as work changes. Open it the morning you travel.
  • Allow extra time. Temporary stops can be a short walk from the usual one.
  • Note the end dates. Sheridan reopens after Nov. 1. Heart Lake and Queen Street West have no firm end date, so the detours may continue past this week.
