Bronson Avenue Construction Late
This is a release from the City of Ottawa:
The ongoing temporary closure of Bronson Avenue, between Laurier Avenue and Slater Street, is being extended until 10 pm on Friday, October 27.
The temporary closure, which began at 6 am on Wednesday, September 27, is required to facilitate deep excavations for sewer and watermain work as part of the Albert/Queen/Slater/Bronson reconstruction project. It has been extended due to unforeseen challenges with the underground hydro infrastructure and timing needed to repair.

On-street parking will not be possible during the closures, and signage will be in place. Local access will be maintained for residents, business owners and emergency vehicles only.

I note that you say “This is a release from the City …” instead of “… a news release …”. Once upon a time, it would have been news that a city project was off the rails and late. Now the news story would be the result of a city project that was completed on time, actually functioned as it should and was even close to on budget. This is, of course, because it’s such a rare occurrence any more.
A sad state of affairs!
