The construction activities include milling the existing road surface, laying a new pavement surface, spot replacement of concrete curbs and sidewalks, minor repairs to the storm sewer infrastructure, as well as landscaping enhancements.

Traffic is restricted but maintained throughout the construction areas. Please note that the speed limit is reduced to 30 km/hour and we kindly ask drivers to exercise caution, be mindful of flag people and anticipate potential traffic delays.

We thank you for your support as this investment in the road network underscores our commitment to improving transportation infrastructure for the entire community’s benefit,” says Mayor Jackie Clayton.
