- Kingsway, between Falconbridge Road and the Southeast Bypass:
Motorists are reminded that the speed limit in this construction zone is reduced to 60 km/h to protect construction workers and reduce the risk of collision. Finishing work, including minor construction, paving and restoration will be completed this summer.
