Eau Claire Area Improvements construction and detours

Construction update - November 2024

Concrete sandblasting: November 25 & 26

  • What: Intermittent concrete sandblasting
  • When: November 25 and November 26 – during non-peak pathway times and daytime hours, intermittently, to reduce dust in the area.
  • Where: Eau Claire Plaza
  • Why: Concrete sandblasting is a technique that uses an abrasive material to finish concrete, remove dirt and prepare concrete surfaces for finishing.  

Timelines may change due to inclement weather, complexity, supply chain, and/or other unexpected circumstances. We understand construction can be challenging and thank you for your ongoing patience as we improve Eau Claire Plaza.

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 is now permanently closed between 2 Street S.W. to just north of the Local Public Eatery. 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.
