Emergency repairs have closed a stretch of Winnipeg’s Marion Street through Sunday, the city says.<\/p>\n
Marion will be closed in all directions between Archibald Street and Panet Road\/Dawson Road N. due to the repairs, from 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday, the city said in a new release.<\/p>\n
An issue with a catch basin and surrounding pavement was discovered during other work being done to the street, a city spokesperson said to CBC News.<\/p>\n
The city decided to do the repairs “as soon as possible” to avoid more pressure on rush-hour traffic in the area, the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
Local access will be maintained on either side of Dupuy Avenue during the closure, the release says.<\/p>\n
Drivers should allow for extra travel time to go through the area, the city said. They can also download the Waze app<\/a> for real-time traffic updates.<\/p>\n Transit will also be rerouted during the closure. Bus riders can also follow Winnipeg Transit’s service alerts online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
