A section of a downtown Winnipeg street is closing to most traffic for the next two years due to construction of a building.

Beginning Monday, Graham Avenue between Main Street and Fort Street will be used only for transit buses and will be closed off to all other motor vehicles until July 2020.

The closure will allow for construction of a new tower project at 300/330 Main Street.

The two lanes on the south side of Graham will be used for buses while the two lanes on the north side are completely closed off to traffic and will only be used by delivery trucks bringing materials to the construction site.

Pedestrians will be able to access the sidewalk heading south.
