Work on the Chatham-Kent Community Hub is expected to start next week.
Fortis Construction Group, which was awarded the building contract last month, will be installing perimeter fencing and preparing for demolition work on the building’s exterior.
Due to this work, there will be temporary closures.
The sidewalk and parking spaces on the south side of King Street West and the east side of Fifth Street will be closed off until all construction is finished.
Several bus stops will also be closed off during construction. The Route 5 transit stop on Fifth Street at King Street West won't be used again until all construction is done, while the Route 2 stop on Fifth Street at Llewellyn Street and the Route 5 stop on King Street West at Sixth Street will be temporarily out of service while barriers are being installed.
People driving in the area on Tuesday and Wednesday should expect some delays. Traffic control measures will be in place each day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
