Partial closures on 2 downtown streets this week
The city also says two streets in the middle of downtown Hamilton will be partially closed starting Tuesday.
King William Street will be closed between James Street and John Street.
The city says work to restore the road is the reason behind the closure.
The southbound lane of John Street will also be closed, between King Street and King William Street.
The city says the reason for that closure is alley way construction.
Both closures begin Tuesday, May 21 and end Friday, May 24.
