It is only expected to last a day, but it will likely be a day involving some cursing on the part of motorists.
Busy Edinburgh Road South between Waterloo Avenue and Bristol Street is closed today for a water valve repair at 200 Waterloo Avenue. It is scheduled to reopen by early evening.
A pair of hydrovac trucks were on the site early Monday morning, clearing out an area under Edinburgh a few meters south of Waterloo. The work is one of a number of projects on city streets affecting traffic flow.
There are no route detours in effect, but traffic delays are anticipated. Local access is maintained between Wellington Street and the area of closure. Waterloo is not accessible from Edinburgh Road South throughout the day.
