Construction impacts
- Construction hours are:
- 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday
- 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday
- Residents will notice construction noise.
- Residents may notice an increase in vibrations while crews are working, but we do not anticipate any impacts to private property.
- Park users may notice diesel odours where crews are working with large equipment.
- Residents and pedestrians are reminded to watch for detour signs, and please obey all temporary speed limit reductions that may be in place. We also ask that drivers in the lane closest to a stopped roadside worker vehicle with its lights flashing move over to the far lane to give workers extra space, if possible.
- The contractor will take steps to limit the amount of dust and mud from the work area.
- Nose Creek in-stream work during Q4 2024 will restrict boating and fishing activities in Laycock Park.
