During the shutdown, the intersection will be controlled by flagpeople. Once the temporary shutdown is complete, temporary traffic control signage will continue to be in place for all directions in the intersection until the fall. Motorists are asked to ensure they are adhering to construction signage and use caution while travelling through the intersection.
