Business Advisory - Duckworth Street Re-surfacing September 11, 2007

Businesses are advised that starting Friday, September 14, 2007 some parking meters along Duckworth Street will be taken out of service to facilitate the raising of manholes near the intersection of both Holloway Street and St. John's Lane. The effected parking lanes will be used for through traffic as construction crews will be working near the street center line.

It is anticipated that these parking stalls will be brought back into service by Monday, September 17, 2007 after the concrete used to raise the manholes has reached sufficient strength and the areas around the manholes are patched with asphalt. Please note, tack coating and paving the entire width of Duckworth Street from Prescott Street to King's Road will follow on Saturday, September 22, 2007, weather permitting.

Alternate FREE customer parking will be available for Saturday, September 15 and Sunday, September 16 at the Harvey's lot off Harbour Drive, behind the former Brother T.I. Murphy Center building (permit only parking on Friday, September 14 and Monday, September 17).

The Fortis parking lot off Harbour Drive will be available as well for FREE customer parking on Saturday, September 15 and Sunday, September 16.

The City of St. John's apologizes for any inconvenience this street work may cause. For more information please call the Department of Engineering at 754 CITY.
