November construction update notice

Construction on West River Street has started. Traffic control is set up, and the Contractor has saw cut the road to remove asphalt over the proposed storm sewer on the west side of the road. Gravel will be placed to ramp for driveway access as construction progresses. On Friday November 6, 2026, the storm sewer installation will start and take 4 to 6 weeks to complete. Once the storm sewer is done, the road will be paved to restore it for the winter.

Access will be maintained as much as possible throughout construction. You may be asked to move your vehicle out of your driveway and park elsewhere when the storm sewer is being installed past your driveway. This is to ensure you have access to your vehicle when you need it. At times, you may need to drive around the block to get to your house depending on where excavation is happening. During work hours, no parking on the street is permitted.

Hassan Sadruddin from GEI Consultants Canada is the project site inspector and will typically be present daily throughout the project if you have general questions. Look for him on the street in his white GEI hard hat.

Changes during construction period

  • Road or sidewalk impacts: West River Street will be closed with access to local traffic only. The sidewalk on the west side of the street will be maintained as much as possible.

  • Noise/light: Heavy equipment and dump trucks will be operating in the area in compliance with the Noise By-law.
