Downtown street closing this week due to construction

As work on Queen Street East in the downtown core continues, motorists are advised that Queen will be closed to traffic between Spring and Elgin Streets on Friday, Nov. 1 for the entire day.

While access to area businesses will be maintained, pedestrians are asked to find alternative routes as some sidewalks may be closed, says a news release issued by the City of Sault Ste. Marie.

Motorists are asked to exercise caution and obey all signage if driving in the area.

"The City of Sault Ste. Marie thanks its citizens for their patience and cooperation during this construction project," the release says.
