The new Victoria Street Transit Exchange between Kootenay Street and Stanley Street will open on Monday, June 30, with bus service moving from Ward Street and Baker Street over to Victoria Street. To complete the last of the roadwork, the 300 block of Victoria Street will be closed to traffic from Thursday, June 26 to early morning on Monday, June 30.
While the new transit exchange will be open for bus service, the finishing touches are still in progress. Bus shelters will be installed later this summer. Landscaping will be completed in the fall.
The Victoria Street Transit Exchange will facilitate more frequent, regularly scheduled and aligned routes that will better connect residents and students to destinations within the region.
There are some minor schedule and routing changes on all routes that service the City of Nelson. Please visit BC Transit’s website for up-to-date trip schedules and maps.
The previous transit shelter at Ward Street and Baker Street will be decommissioned this summer. A number of parking changes will occur this summer to increase the number of stalls in the area.
Nelson Public Library is open during the construction.
