During that time, construction crews will remove concrete on the east side of the transit station.
Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) will be providing temporary bus stops at Century Park Transit Centre and altering bus routes to accommodate riders' needs.
ETS Kiss and Ride along 111 Street will be shut down during construction to give access to buses with relocated stops.
Those bus routes are:
56 West Edmonton Mall;
709 Southgate;
716 Leger;
717 Leger;
721 Rutherford;
722 Allard; and
729 Leger.
The city says no personal vehicles will be allowed to stop in the area and encourages residents to use alternate locations including Heritage Valley, Southgate and Davies transit centres for pick-up and drop-off.
A temporary stop will be stationed on the grassy north curb of the Century Park bus stop.
These bus routes, and On Demand Transit, will be utilizing that stop:
1 Leduc;
518 Mill Woods;
707 Southgate; and
715 Leger.
The city said travel delays are likely to occur during construction, but Routes 721, 722, and 729 are expected to experience the most delays.
Riders can plan their trip using the City of Edmonton's Trip Planner to get transit alerts, view real-time bus tracking, and access scheduling information.

Getting citizenship on Canada Day is 'icing on top of the cake,' says new citizen
Derek Normanton came to Nova Scotia to visit a friend in Truro, but after getting to see the province, he had an epiphany. "We were sitting by the visitor centre and we were just like, 'We should move here,'" he said. That's how his 14-year-long path to citizenship started. On Tuesday, Normanton was one of 49 people who became Canadian citizens at a ceremony at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax. New citizens received Canadian flags, took an oath and sang O Canada. Since 1999, the museum has hosted citizenship ceremonies. Pier 21 served as an immigration terminal from the 1920s until 1971, welcoming thousands of immigrants each year. The terminal welcomed around one million immigrants to Canada. Normanton said it's a privilege to be a Canadian and the ceremony being held on Canada Day is "just the icing on top of the cake." He works for the Municipality of East Hants and said he thinks the province has it all. "The thing about Nova Scotia is it's just such a diverse place. There's so much open space. It's just fantastic, friendly people," said Normanton. "I just love Nova Scotia. It's a fantastic place to live." He planned to celebrate getting his citizenship by having sushi. Brad Pease and Ieva Paegle met in Denmark and had two kids there before moving to Canada. They've seen many places in North America, having driven across the continent three years ago. They had been living in B.C. for a few years before choosing to make Halifax home. They fell in love with Nova Scotia's coastal landscape, culture and people. The family applied for their citizenship this January. "We saw it as a great opportunity for us as a family, [it's] a beautiful place to live and lots of diversity and different experiences that we could have as a family," said Pease. "And we really like Peggys Cove," added their youngest child. Maria Quency De Souza also became a new citizen. She said she will celebrate today's milestone with her family and friends. Quency De Souza said she has been living in Canada for six years. The nurse studied in India and always dreamed of living abroad. "Canada was my country," she said.
