Paving work also means restrictions will be in place on McCarthy Boulevard from Fourth Avenue to Mikkelson Drive between Monday and Oct. 2.

Another paving project will see Montreal Street closed from Fifth Avenue North to Seventh Avenue North on Monday and Tuesday.

The city said the intersection of Chuka Boulevard and Buckingham Drive will see restrictions from Monday through to Oct. 6 as workers install concrete piles on all four corners.
