If you need to drive to downtown Victoria today, you may have to deal with some traffic congestion, as Main Street will be reduced to one lane.

Beginning on today (Thursday, March 17) the City will reduce Main Street to one lane from Power Avenue to Commercial Street to install utility lines.  This lane reduction is expected to take 1 day, weather permitting.

All businesses in the construction zone will remain open and accessible, and the public is encouraged to support businesses in the work zone.  Through-traffic can avoid delays in the work zone by seeking alternate routes.

So, if you're headed downtown today, allow yourself some extra time.
