University Avenue Storm Sewer Upgrades (at Prince Philip Drive)
The City of St. John's will be upgrading storm sewer infrastructure on University Avenue and Prince Philip Drive, from approximately 118 University Avenue to the north side of Prince Philip Drive. The new storm sewer will be installed through the intersection, crossing all lanes of Prince Philip Drive.
Construction is expected from August to October 2024, causing traffic delays due to lane reductions, diversions, and possible detours. The City will make every effort to minimize interruptions. Pedestrian access will be maintained during construction, and the public is asked to follow all posted signage in and near the construction zones.
The City of St. John’s will provide updates on traffic interruptions and progress throughout the duration of the project. You can review the project schedule on this page to follow progress of the project and subscribe to receive the latest City news and advisories.
