UPDATE: TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE SOUTH SERVICE ROAD BETWEEN OGDEN AVENUE TO CAWTHRA ROAD – Status REOPENED

By Resources, Ward 1

UPDATE from contractor GHD for the Ministry of Transportation Project:

We are writing to provide a quick update on the ongoing sanitary and storm work at Ogden Ave and South Service Road intersection.

Unfortunately, the contractor was not able to complete the work as planned and faced unexpected challenges related to complex underground utility conflicts while working on the sanitary infrastructure. Due to these unforeseen issues and with the fast-approaching Christmas break, the decision has been made to open the intersection temporarily on Dec 20, 2023, and remove the detour, and close the intersection again after the holidays to efficiently complete the remaining sanitary & storm work. The details of the closures are:

Closed from Jan. 8th to Jan. 26th , 2024 – SSR/Ogden MH1252 Storm Installation

Re-opened as of January 24th, 2024 at noon.

-SSR closure at Ogden on Jan. 8th, 2024, including detour installation

-realign water main to accommodate proposed storm MH1252 (as per response to IR#401)

-complete storm MH1252 and adjacent pipe runs

Just a heads up, the contractor has also provided closure dates for the completion of work on NSR/Westfield & Insley Road; however, this work will commence after the completion of the Ogden & SSR intersection work.

Closed from Jan. 29th to Mar. 1st, 2024 – Westfield/Insley at NSR Sanitary Installation

-mobilize to Westfield/NSR on Jan. 29th and commence Sanitary work

-Feb. 5th to Feb. 16th – Westfield Rd. closure at NSR

-Feb. 19th to Mar. 1st – NSR closure at Insley Rd.

The Region of Peel Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.

Your water will be turned off on Thursday, November 2nd from approximately 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.

If this interruption may affect an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them.  During the time that the water supply is interrupted, the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function.  A fire watch should be performed as necessary during time period.

After the water interruption:

When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise.  We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor and finishing on the top floor). Flush the toilets as well. You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds.  Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.

Lane Closures – Lakeshore Eastbound Benson to Mississauga Road – Lakeshore Road Paving

By Ward 1

Memme occupied the most southern lane on Lakeshore Road on October 23rd to complete the grinding operation. All traffic was directed on Lakeshore Road with the assistance of two paid duty officers. On October 24th  it was determined that some areas required additional grinding as well as the raising of manholes to attain the appropriate grades in preparation for the re-paving.

Wednesday October 25th, the most southern lane will again be closed for the day to pave top asphalt, and all traffic will be directed again with two paid duty officers.  This work will run from Benson through to Mississauga Rd.  Following that work, tomorrow evening all line painting will be completed and Lakeshore will be fully reopened on Thursday October 26th.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as this work is completed tomorrow.
