The city says a trio of Barrie streets will be affected by construction this week, beginning Tuesday.

This work will tentatively take place on Tuesday, Nov. 28 between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., and is construction associated to a development project at 37 Johnson St. The roadway will be open to local traffic and emergency vehicles.

Also on Tuesday, Mar-King Construction and its sub-contractors, working on behalf of the city, will need a full road closure on Rose Street at Duckworth Street. The closure is expected to extend approximately 50 metres west of Duckworth Street. Duckworth's northbound and southbound lanes will remain open.
