A construction notice for Thompson Road south of Louis St Laurent to Britannia has been released by the Town of Milton to begin the process of widening to 4 lanes. As residents will note, there is a lot of new home construction happening now and more for the future as well as new retail developments on both the east and west side of Thompson Road at Louis St Laurent. This will require a staged closing of Thompson Road to accommodate the widening to prepare for future development on Thompson Road.
The first stage of the closure will be from March 8th to June 11th, 2021. Local access to some roads WILL be available during this time but travel from Thompson Rd to Britannia WILL be detoured to 4th Line and heading south to Britannia Road. Residents not familiar with some changes to the roadway, there is now a signaled intersection at Louis St Laurent and 4th Line as well as LSL and Trudeau Blvd.
Please stay tuned to the Town of Milton’s social media page (and mine as well 😉 )for any updates.
(From the Press Release)
The Town of Milton, in conjunction with KAPP Infrastructure, is urbanizing and widening Thompson Road South, between Louis St. Laurent Avenue and Britannia Road, to a 35-metre four lane cross section.
The project includes a roundabout intersection at Whitlock Avenue and Thompson Road South. The intersection of Logan Drive and Thompson Road South will have temporary signals installed as part of this contract. This intersection may be modified to a roundabout intersection as intended in the Boyne Road Network Assessment in the future.
Road closures
In order to execute this work safely, Thompson Road South will have staged road closures for the duration of the contract.
The first road closure is Thompson Road South between Whitlock Avenue and Britannia Road, from March 8, 2021 at 7 a.m. to June 11, 2021 at 7 p.m. Traffic will be detoured via Fourth Line, Regional Road 25 and Britannia Road.
Subsequent road closures, with anticipated dates, include:
- Louis St. Laurent Avenue to north limit of Whitlock Avenue from June 14, 2021 to Aug. 27, 2021
- Whitlock Avenue intersection from Aug. 30, 2021 to Oct. 15, 2021
