The City of Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador, is closing Centennial Street for the week of March 2, 2026, to allow crews to complete utility work. This closure will affect a major hub in the community, as the street is home to City Hall, Canada Post, and local businesses.

Drivers and people using Metrobus should plan for detours and delays while the work is being done. The City of Mount Pearl first shared the notice about the closure on February 24, 2026, to give residents time to adjust their travel routes.

Access to several important buildings will change during this time, including the Canada Post office and the Scotiabank branch located on the street. Business owners and customers are encouraged to check for updated detour routes to reach these locations.

This utility project follows a recent proposal to test a one-way traffic system on Centennial Street to limit how cars enter from Commonwealth Avenue. The city is working on these upgrades as part of a larger plan to improve public safety and update underground pipes and systems in the heart of the community.
