Kenmount Road Construction Resuming Early May

Phase 3 of the Kenmount Road Trunk Storm Sewer project is scheduled to begin May 3, 2021.
 
Beginning April 21 (weather permitting) and continuing until the end of the month, the contractor will be conducting sporadic exploratory digs in the area of Kenmount between Pippy Place and the Team Gushue Highway overpass. These exploratory digs are relatively minor, involving sporadic traffic diversions around small excavations.
 
Excavation of the main trench, scheduled to begin the first week of May, will reduce traffic on Kenmount Road to two lanes. Traffic on Kenmount Road will be maintained with one lane in each direction; however, disruptions and slowdowns are expected. Pedestrian access will be maintained on one side of the road during construction. A traffic advisory will be issued prior to construction starting.
 
The City is currently working with business and property owners located in this section to minimize impact to businesses.
 
This is the fourth year of construction work required to upgrade the storm sewer along Kenmount Road to the Team Gushue Highway overpass. Visit engagestjohns.ca to learn more about the project and stay up to date as work progresses.
