School Safety Reminders:
Caroline Street will continue to operate as a one-way street to ensure the continued safety of our community members and students. We ask that motorists drive with extreme caution and follow the postage signage.
Thank you for your Patience:
Detours have been a normal part of navigating downtown Huntsville this spring and we appreciate the patience, understanding and support our community continues to provide downtown businesses and construction crews. Businesses are open, and pedestrian access is available throughout the downtown core.
With spring weather, high traffic volumes are expected downtown throughout the day and during commuting hours. Please plan your travel in advance, respect the flagging crews and continue to use alternate routes or the detour routes at Huntsville.ca/diggindowntown
Diggin’ Downtown is the largest construction project undertaken in our community in many years – we’re working as quickly as possible to resume normal traffic operations in the downtown core. Please drive safely and follow the one-way posted street signage for the safety of our community.
