We will continue to keep you informed of any future adjustments to the temporary road‑closure and reopening dates.
While every effort will be made to minimize disruptions, residents and motorists should expect temporary inconveniences, including traffic delays, signed detours, construction noise, construction vehicles and dust.
Access to private driveways is to remain open at all times. Emergency services, waste collection, mail delivery, and school transportation will be coordinated to maintain service wherever possible.
