Front Street Eastbound Open From 4.30pm – 6pm
The City announced that they “will open Front Street to eastbound traffic between 4.30pm and 6.00pm only” saying it should “ease congestion for traffic exiting the City during the post-work rush hour.”
A spokesperson said, “The City of Hamilton is advising members of the public that, due to public response regarding the current Front Street roadworks, the City will open Front Street to eastbound traffic between 4:30pm and 6pm only. This should ease congestion for traffic exiting the City during the post-work rush hour.
“This means that any traffic coming into the City between 4:30pm and 6pm will be diverted to Court Street.
“The City apologizes for any inconvenience caused to commuters and asks for the public’s patience as we seek to improve our City’s roadways and sidewalks.”
So the COH couldn’t have anticipated these issues ?
You ease traffic congestion in the city by doing those types of road works after hours. Lunch time traffic is ridiculous today….. Jus sayin
Wow it took them three days to figure this out. One way in for the morning traffic and one way out for the afternoon traffic, not a hard solution.
Common sense today is a super power…
Did anyone expect any different, the dreamers trash trucks are picking up garbage in the rush hour traffic mornings.

Why on earth would the COH even concider doing this project now when tourists are being ferried into Hamilton requiring taxi’s and other modes of transport. Commerce is just starting to increase as life returns to some sort of normality. This clearly wasnt well thought out. Why now? The road wasnt bad to begin with. Why couldnt this have been done this during Covid slow down period? Traffic congestion is crazy all day long now. First you build these 49mile wide crazy sidewalks that are choking off junctions in the city and now you want to tear up FRONT STREET during the hieght of tourist season. You guys are truly brainless.
