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.
