The temporary eastbound lane closure on Seymour Street will be in place on both Oct. 13 and 14 while the crane’s boom is lifted into position. The city notes there will be traffic control personnel and signage in place to direct traffic on the major downtown thoroughfare.

A groundbreaking for the arts centre was held in November last year, and crews are currently focused on the two-level underground parkade. The building itself is set to rise starting next year and construction is expected to wrap up in 2029.

In September, city staff said the project was on time and about $5 million under its overall $211-million budget. They also said work had advanced beyond the riskiest part of excavation, meaning costs should stay close to projections from here on out.
