what you need to know

The gas main will be installed using directional drilling, a tunnelling technique that minimizes disruption and excavation. Trenches will also be used in select areas where needed.
Crews will start at High Tech and work north towards Beresford.
Temporary northbound curb lane closures will be required around the work areas.
At times crews will be required to move back and forth in the work zone.
Wherever possible, sidewalks and bus stops will remain open. If a sidewalk or bus stop is closed, directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open sidewalk or bus stop.
Access to properties and businesses will be maintained; however, driveways may be reduced or temporarily disrupted. Advance notice will be provided wherever possible.
Traffic control staff and paid duty officers will be on site as required.
Some weekend work may be required.
Due to the nature of this work, at times, there will be construction-related noise and dust from equipment and trucks.

*Please note: As with all construction projects, some work may be re-scheduled due to weather. We’ll provide advance notice when possible. Watch twitter.com/vivanext for last-minute updates.
