Downtown Barrie road closure: Here's what you need to know
A section of Dunlop Street West in downtown Barrie will be closed starting Tuesday as construction progresses on a condo development.

From Tues., Oct. 15 until Sun., Oct. 20, Dunlop Street West will be fully closed between Toronto Street and Maple Avenue. Mary Street will change from a one-way street to two-way to accommodate traffic during the closure.
