UPDATE 3:15pm: I did get a chance to speak with the Region of Halton regarding the reasoning behind the delay. Mainly the delay is due to weather conditions being too wet with all the rain we’ve been having. It makes it difficult to continue to dig along the road side, install the water pipes and pour concrete. Their number one priority right now is to get that intersection open to help alleviate the congestion along Britannia during the rush hours. More information to come and letters will be sent out tomorrow to area residents. Of course, stay tuned here for more updates as construction progresses.
If you recall a couple of months ago, I reported on the road closure at Fourth Line and Britannia. The approximate date of completion was set to be the end of April, but there have been a number of delays with weather being one of the factors.
I recently received a notification from the Region of Halton that the intersection of 4th Line and Britannia Road will continue to be closed until May 31, 2011.
This is a one month extension of the previous deadline of April 30th.
“The road closure will be extended to the end of May 2011 from the original completion date of April 29, 2011. There will be no access across Britannia Road at Fourth Line. Access to Fourth Line, north of Britannia Road still remains Louis St Laurent Avenue and Fourth Line south of Britannia Road via Lower Base Line.”
As soon as I hear more about a possible completion date, I’ll update the blog.
