Eau Claire Area Improvements construction and detours

Construction update - October 2024

Concrete sandblasting to take place Oct 7 - 11

Sandblasting is scheduled to take place over several days next week as various concrete pours are completed. This will take place during the daylight hours and may result in increased noise and dust in the area. We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause. We will work quickly and efficiently to minimize the disturbance.

A bird's eye view

Here's some recent aerial drone footage showing the progress we're making with the goal to have Eau Claire Plaza ready by next summer. We know construction can be challenging, but we're getting there. Thanks to nearby residents and businesses for their patience and understanding as we diligently work to bring this beautiful space to life.

Permanent Closure of Barclay Parade S.W.

A reminder that Barclay Parade will be permanently closed between 2 Street S.W. to just north of the Local Public Eatery in order for the demolition of Eau Claire Market to take place. Access to local businesses will be maintained.

Please note: The pathway connection between the Eau Claire Promenade and Barclay Parade will also remain closed throughout construction, but access to Prince’s Island is being maintained. Please see map below. Wayfinding signage can be found on the north and south ends of the Plaza site to help visitors navigate the area.

What to expect

The construction work hours for the Eau Claire Plaza are Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.:

  • Sidewalk closure around the site with detours to ensure pedestrians and cyclists can travel safely through the area and still access their destinations.
  • To complete the sidewalk and concrete work in the Plaza and Promenade, crew will be in the area doing sand blasting. We do our best to mitigate and control the dust produced but encourage area residents and businesses to close windows and doors to reduce potential exposure to dust.
  • An increase in on-site construction activity, including construction crews, vehicles and heavy equipment.
  • An increase in truck and equipment traffic accessing the construction site(s) and surrounding areas.

Material removal and delivery, as well as on-site flaggers to help direct traffic and pathway users.
