Owen Sound's 3rd Avenue E. Construction Detours Start Next Week

Part of 3rd Avenue East in Owen Sound will close as work on Phase 2 of the reconstruction project gets underway next week.

3rd Avenue East, also called Grey Road 15, will be closed to through traffic between 18th Street East, and East Bayshore Road.

The area will only be accessible to local traffic and emergency services during the closure.

That detour will direct traffic to East Bayshore Road via 28th Street East.

The project is expected to wrap up in November of this year.
