Phase 1 Curb Completion and Upcoming Paving Schedule - August 23, 2024

Phase 1 curb work from Timberlane Road east to the CN Rail crossing has been completed. Residents are asked to continue using designated parking areas until Monday. This will allow the new curb to cure for four days, ensuring it reaches the strength needed to support vehicles without breaking or cracking. The County appreciates your patience over the weekend, as this step is crucial for ensuring the longevity, appearance, and functionality of the curb for years to come.

PV-EX has begun fine grading the roadway from Timberlane to the CN Rail crossing. Over the next week, this work will continue, along with the raising of manhole covers and other metal fixtures within the roadway. Asphalt paving for Phase 1 is scheduled for Friday, August 30th, to complete the base layer before the Labour Day long weekend. Paving will be rescheduled to Tuesday if weather conditions, such as rain, are unfavourable.

Residents within the project area will experience driveway access restrictions during the day. Please remove all vehicles from driveways by 7 a.m. on Friday and park in the designated areas. Full access will be restored by the end of the day. Hot asphalt requires 2–3 hours to set, and during this time, vehicle access will be restricted to prevent damage to the new surface. Please follow all signage, as hot asphalt poses a burn risk and there may be tripping hazards. The contractor is working diligently to restore areas behind the curb to ensure safer walking conditions.

We thank residents again for their continued support, understanding, and cooperation with changing traffic patterns as we work to complete this project.

Next week, access to the project area will be best from Wellington Road, using Ryan, Nathan, and Vineden Streets as bypass routes. The contractor will also be completing the final stormwater upgrades between Timberlane and Timberlane, and this section will be closed to traffic.
