With the LaSalle Causeway remaining fully closed to all traffic through the solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, the City of Kingston is modifying traffic and transit plans in the vicinity of Fort Henry.
These changes were made to maintain emergency and public transit access and limit the number of personal vehicles that otherwise may have to backtrack from Fort Henry once its parking lot has reached capacity.
- Highway 2 will be closed west of Highway 15 when parking reaches capacity at Fort Henry Hill. We expect this to occur very early in the day.
- Vehicles travelling south on Highway 15 will be directed east on Highway 2 and vehicles travelling west on Highway 2 will be directed north on Highway 15.
- Transit and emergency services will use Main St. between Highway 15 and Highway 2.
- Local traffic access in and out of the Barriefield neighbourhood for residents will be maintained via Wellington St. at Highway 15.
Stay tuned to the City of Kingston’s website and social media channels for updates throughout the day on April 8. |
