🚧 Heads up, Grimsby! Here’s what to know before you head out next week.

⚠️ Full closure on Mountain St., from Elm St. to Main St.

Starting Monday, October 19, Mountain St. will be closed to through traffic between Elm St. and Main St. for approximately 4–6 weeks.

Here’s what you need to know:
▪️ Detours will be in place for cars and heavy trucks.
▪️ Parking lots won’t be accessible from Mountain St.
▪️ Sidewalk access to businesses will remain open, and local businesses will stay open throughout construction.

Why will this work take 4–6 weeks? Crews need to work carefully around existing underground utilities, using a hydro-vac truck and hand digging in some areas. This takes extra time but helps protect the infrastructure already in place.
