Thompson Road South Closure Notice

Thompson Road South Closure Notice

Mike Cluett

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

Temporary All-Way Stop Thompson Rd. & Louis St. Laurent

As a result of Halton Region opening up the intersection of Regional Road 25 and Louis St. Laurent Avenue, a temporary all-way stop is being installed at the intersection of Thompson Road South and Louis St. Laurent Avenue to help regulate traffic at this intersection.

The temporary all way stop will be removed once the traffic control signals are completed, which is anticipated to take place on or about August 25th.  If you have any questions, please call 905-878-7252 ext. 2506 or e-mail Heide Schlegl.

Thank you for your patience during this time.

UPDATE INTERSECTION OF THOMPSON ROAD & LOUIS ST LAURENT

Mike Cluett

This is an update about Louis St Laurent and Thompson Road as well as LSL and 25.

We just received an email from the head of engineering at the Town of Milton regarding these intersections. LSL and 25 will be opening soon. This project is being completed by the Region of Halton and it needs to be opened in order to avoid any claims from contractors for delay.

It was the town of Miltons intention to have the traffic lights installed at LSL and Thompson Road in enough time for the opening but due to theft of the poles and the resulting delay in getting them ready, other measures to control traffic at that intersection have to be taken.

With the opening of LSL and 25, there will be an increased amount of traffic moving east / west along LSL and the Town will be installing TEMPORARILY a 4 way stop for approximately 2-4 weeks.

We understand this will be a “pain in the butt” for some, but necessary due to the increased amount of traffic along this route and Thompson Road. They will be doing what they can to expidite the installation of the traffic lights at LSL and Thompson as quickly as possible.

Of course councillors in the area will be using their website to update the situation and if you have any other questions, email mike@mikecluett.ca

We have asked that signage goes up as soon as possible to let people know of the upcoming 4 way stop intersection and the fact its temporary. When it does happen, PLEASE travel carefully through this intersection.
