Construction closes Davie Street between Jervis and Thurlow through spring 2028

Construction on Davie Street between Jervis and Thurlow streets begins after the Labour Day long weekend, with work expected to wrap up in spring 2028. The project is part of the City of Vancouver's Davie Village: Space for People initiative to transform the neighbourhood with wider sidewalks and a more welcoming public realm.

Drivers should expect reduced lanes, road closures, detours, and parking restrictions throughout the construction period. Buses will be rerouted to avoid affected areas; TransLink will post new rerouted options online. Pedestrians will also encounter temporary detours in the area.

The City will list the closure on its road closures page when it goes into effect. The city said it is "conducting work to reduce impacts on businesses and the community."

The Davie Village upgrades are anticipated to make the area more accessible, making it easier for people to access shops and services. The city engaged businesses and the public on Davie Village needs and aspirations in 2023, with strong community support for the design.

The city has not specified which parts of the project will commence after the Labour Day weekend, and the total project cost for the Davie Street upgrades between Jervis and Thurlow streets has not been disclosed.
