We are advising residents of Laurier Drive and Sifton Lane that phase one of this work is scheduled to begin on Monday, September 9, 2024, with overall completion anticipated for fall 2025.
Phase two of the project will occur over two weeks beginning the week of April 22 and installation of a sanitary sewer main north of Hugh Allan
Drive. Impacts will occur along Aberdeen Drive and Highway 5A. Highway 5A westbound traffic
and parts of the shoulder in the
area of the Hugh Allan Drive/
Highway 5A intersection will be
temporarily impacted during
construction.
