Construction Update – Monday Traffic Detour Adjustment

As part of the final asphalt paving work on Hardy Avenue, a temporary adjustment to the traffic detour plan will be required on Monday, November 16, 2026, from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. To protect the newly placed surface asphalt while it cools, the north intersection of Hardy Avenue will be temporarily closed. Turning movements on fresh asphalt can cause rutting and damage to the new surface.

To maintain access to the Community Centre parking lot during this time, the Town's Engineering Department has worked with Recreation, Culture and Parks to establish an alternative traffic route through the rear laneway. Traffic control personnel will be stationed at either end of the construction area to assist residents and visitors with accessing the parking lot.

Once the asphalt has cooled sufficiently, the intersection is expected to reopen to all traffic at approximately 12:00 p.m. The detour will then return to the original traffic management plan while paving work continues between the Community Centre access road and Sanders Street. Hardy Avenue is expected to reopen to all resident and public traffic by the end of the workday.

Emergency vehicle access will be maintained throughout construction, and pedestrian access to the Community Centre will remain available.

Hardy Avenue will remain open throughout the weekend, and vehicles will be permitted to travel on the completed base asphalt.

Please note: An updated detour map has been provided below to reflect the temporary traffic changes that will be in place on Monday, November 16, from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Once the final surface asphalt has cooled and the intersection is reopened, traffic will revert to the original detour route for the remainder of the project. Residents are encouraged to review the appropriate detour map before travelling in the area.
