The City of Winnipeg says part of Portage Avenue East will be closed for a few hours on Friday.

The closure will only affect the eastbound lanes of Portage Avenue East between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

This is being done to allow for some concrete to be poured as part of the Portage & Main pedestrian reopening project.

The City adds that pedestrian traffic will not be affected, and other road closures in the area will still be in effect.
