Project 17-2280 - December 20, 2022 update 2
Streets affected: Old King Road, Caledon
The Region of Peel will be working in your neighbourhood to install a new sanitary sewer along Old King Road. This work will allow us to continue providing you with high quality wastewater services.
Construction schedule update
We planned to begin this work in November 2022, however it was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. This work is now expected to begin January 3, 2023. We expect to complete all underground work during the spring of 2023, weather permitting. In late spring, we will repair any areas impacted by this construction work, such as the road, boulevard, curb, or sidewalk. All work is under warranty for two years from the completion date.
Project details
The work will be completed by Earth Boring Co. Limited and supported by Chisholm Fleming and Associates Consultants, both under contract to the Region of Peel. The pipe will be installed underground using specialized drilling techniques, and will not require digging trenches in your neighbourhood. Aboveground construction activities will be mainly limited to a few fenced areas at each end of the new pipe.

Working hours
Our contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but shorter working days would require your neighbourhood to be under construction for a longer period of time.
Traffic and parking impacts
We may need to temporarily close roads or reduce traffic to a single lane during construction. If we must reroute traffic, we will place signs giving directions. On-street parking will be reduced during construction when we are actively working on your street.
Impacts to walking routes
To keep pedestrians safe during this construction work, the Sneath Road walking path will be closed from the pedestrian bridge over the Humber River to Old King Road. This section of the trail will be closed from January 9, 2023 until all underground work is completed at the end of spring 2023.
Safety during construction
Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible. Learn more about how to stay safe in construction zones.
Keeping you informed
We will let you know if there are any major changes to the plans. Information on this project can also be found on the project webpage.
Thank you for your patience as we complete this necessary work. If you have any questions, please contact us.
