Update on 4th Line Closure
Both Sharon Barkley and I cornered staff last night (well almost like that 🙂 ) to discuss the length of time its taken to have the work completed on time. Back in October it was only supposed to be a month closure of the road between Menefly Place and Beatty Trail and its now approaching 4 months.
Staff gave me an indication that they are “very close to completion” of the project and they have been hampered by overly wet weather, construction equipment failure among other issues and thats why its taken so long. If you live in the area, I know your patience is wearing thin but we were given a stronger than normal indication that it should be 3 more weeks at the very most if not earlier.
Again we are continuing to monitor this situation and if anything else changes, I will be letting you know.
Thanks again for your patience in this matter.
