Project Timeline |
Start Date: June 15, 2020 |
Traffic Impacts |
Trowbridge Street Bridge will be fully closed for the duration of the work. It is necessary to close portions of roadways and intersections on either side of the bridge during some construction activities, however these closures will be no longer than necessary to complete the work. The Contractor will attempt to tidy the area as work progresses, but final restoration will occur near the end of the project. |
Waste Collection |
If your regular pick-up point for garbage and recycling is temporarily blocked by construction, the Contractor will assist in collecting and transporting your garbage and recycling to a predetermined collection area. |
Water Services |
The scope of this project includes a replacement of a watermain, which may require shutting down water services temporarily. Notice of water shutdowns will be provided by letter at least 48 business hours in advance of water interruptions. As always, water supplied to your residence will be of the highest quality and safe to drink. |
Noise and Dust |
Residents and property owners should expect some noise during construction times. Residents and property owners should expect dusty conditions during some construction activities however efforts will be made to reduce dust as much as possible. |
Vibration and Property |
The possibility of vibrations due to compaction equipment during construction is not anticipated to be significant but residents should protect valuables that may be susceptible to damage as a result of vibration. The Municipality will not be responsible for owner installed items within the road allowance, such as sprinklers, landscaping, lamp posts, etc. If you have any of these items we would recommend that they be removed during the project if possible. |
Budget |
