Project Timeline - Stage 1
The Front Road Storm Sewer Reconstruction project is scheduled to begin, Monday, March 9 2026. The reconstruction area includes the section of Front Road from Boismier Avenue to Reaume Road. Major traffic delays are expected. Alternate routes should be considered, as well as adding extra travel time. Detour signs will be posted to help guide traffic.
Throughout the project, traffic lanes will be reduced from four (4) to two (2) lanes, and turning restrictions will be in place.
Lane Restrictions – starting March 2
Beginning Monday, March 2, Front Road from Lafferty Avenue to Boismier Avenue will be reduced to 2 lanes of traffic. One lane will remain open in each direction.
Intersection Closures
The following intersections with Front Road will be temporarily closed:
- Maple Avenue
- Kenwood Avenue
- Delaware Avenue
- Sacred Heart Drive
- Boismier Avenue
Business Access
Access to businesses along the corridor will remain open; however, temporary closures may occur as construction progresses. The contractor (JJ Lepera) will provide alternate access options when needed.
Project Timeline
The project is nearing completion and is expected to be completed within the next two weeks. Residents may notice that the northbound curb lane remains closed with barrels, which is to maintain and provide a safe work area for the restoration crews.
The remaining work includes paving the remaining asphalt areas, line painting, topsoil placement, seeding, and minor concrete work.
Motorists can expect all four traffic lanes to be reopened after work is complete.
