Project 17-2280 - July 14, 2023 update
Streets affected: Old King Road.
The Region of Peel has been working in your neighbourhood to install new sanitary sewers along Old King Road, Albion Vaughan Road, Nunnville Road, Queensgate Boulevard, Harvestview Avenue, Sant Farm Drive and Riverwood Terrace. This work will allow us to continue providing you with high quality wastewater services.
Notice of extended construction hours
It will be necessary for construction to take place later into the evening on Thursday, July 20, 2023, along Old King Road. On this date, crews will be working from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. at the tunnel access points located:
- At the intersection of Old King Road and Bond Street
- On Old King Road just west of Deer Hollow Court
These timelines are estimates, as weather and other unexpected events may impact our timelines.
Construction and repair work completed as part of this project is under warranty for two years from the completion date.
Contractor and working hours
A longer workday is required to complete operations that must happen continuously. (At this stage of construction, we have drilled a tunnel underground. On this day, we will be installing the new sewer pipe by pulling the new pipe through the tunnel from one tunnel access point to the other). We apologize in advance for any inconveniences caused by this work.
Traffic impacts
Old King Road will be reduced to a single shared lane between Bond Street and Deer Hollow Court. Where a single lane is shared with oncoming traffic, please be sure to yield to oncoming traffic as stated by the road signs. These lane reductions are expected to occur from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 20, 2023. Please expect delays and choose alternate routes if possible.
Driveway access
Homes on the north side of Old King Road between Bond Street and Deer Hollow Court may have their driveways temporarily blocked on Thursday, July 20 while tunneling activities are underway.
For these residents:
For ease of convenience, we kindly ask you to avoid parking in your driveway from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Thursday July 20, 2023. To provide an alternate parking location, residents are encouraged to obtain a pass to park on nearby streets outside the construction zone. Residents can apply for these free temporary parking passes from the Town of Caledon.
If this work is rescheduled due to weather or other unforeseen events, the construction crew will knock on your door to let you know the new date and time.
Noise
We do not anticipate significant noise or vibrations above normal daytime construction levels during these operations. Efforts will be made to reduce impacts to local residents as much as possible.
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.
