Construction on a $4.37-million project to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety in the Stanley Park causeway will get underway Sunday and stretch into the fall and winter months.
The scope of the project, announced in the spring, includes widening the sidewalks and installing bicycle fencing on both sides of the causeway.
During construction, pedestrian and cyclist detours will be in place via Hanson Trail and Pipeline Drive between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays.
Daytime vehicle traffic on the causeway will not be affected; however, there will be single-lane closures overnight on weekdays between 9:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. and on weekends between 10 p.m. and 9 a.m.
Pedestrians and cyclists can follow Twitter updates for sidewalk open and closed status at: @DriveBC_LM or @DriveBC. The detour map for pedestrians and cyclists and details about the project are available at gov.bc.ca/StanleyParkCauseway.
