The city is starting 3 construction projects on mountain roads during the week following Easter, and is warning that motorists should expect road closures.

From Easter Monday until the end of May, crews will be working to repair a retaining wall near Old Dundas/Ancaster Road. "The road will be closed to traffic at Lower Lions Club Road for about 125 metres northeastward," says the city's press release. Affected residents will get a letter about special accommodations for waste removal.

Also starting Monday is construction on all three intersection approaches to First Road West and Green Mountain Road. This is also expected to last until the end of May. "Green Mountain Road will be closed...from Morrisey Boulevard to First Road West," says the city's press release. "Access to both Heritage Green Sports Park and the Terrapure Environmental commercial landfill will be at Mud Street West."

And lastly, starting on Tuesday, April 18, reconstruction on the road and sidewalk at Wilson Street between Hamilton Drive and 150 metres east of Seminole Drive in Ancaster will require closures through to November. The closures will be in effect from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m on weekdays. "The work will include reconstruction of the road and sidewalk, construction of storm sewers, replacement of the watermain and improvements to street lighting," the city said.
