Visitors to St. Paul Street in St. Catharines will soon notice a more pedestrian friendly downtown and motorists will be happy to see and end to construction closures.
St. Paul Street road construction wraps up this week and the road will re-open to vehicular traffic this Friday.
St. Paul Street between Carlisle and James streets has been under construction and closed to vehicles since May.
Among the enhancements, new wider sidewalks and a pedestrian crossover at Garden Park.
Other improvements include new street lighting and traffic signals, a fresh layer of asphalt, new concrete curbs and gutters, line painting and other street-scape elements, such as large concrete planters.
