Late‑night and early-morning commuters who use Dunlop Street West should plan for overnight closures beginning Tuesday.

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation says Dunlop Street West will be closed from Cedar Pointe Drive to Hart Drive between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. while work is underway.

Both the northbound and southbound Highway 400 off‑ramps at Dunlop Street will also be closed during this phase.

Detours will be in place at Anne Street, Edgehill Drive, Ferndale Drive and Tiffin Street.

Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and follow posted signage.

This work is part of the MTO’s Highway 400 expansion project, which includes widening the interchange and expanding the bridge over Dunlop Street.
