Community Update, September 13, 2024: Charters Road Construction Project

Crews have made steady progress on the Charters Road project. Recent efforts focused on wall block installation, extending the west wall further to the north. Work is also continuing on the underground servicing, including the installation of storm mains and fire hydrant stations. Although much of this work is out of sight, it plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and resilience of our community once the road is complete.

As of now, the project remains on schedule, with the anticipated reopening of Charters Road set for the end of October 2024.

As CAO Raechel Gray shared in her August 30th update and at the September 9th Council meeting, the District explored the possibility of opening Charters Road to single-lane alternating traffic or conducting night work over the summer. Unfortunately, early cost estimates and a high potential for project delays, combined with concerns about labour shortages and adapting site safety for both crews and the public, made these options unfeasible. As a result, the focus remains on reaching substantial completion by the scheduled date of October 31, 2024, to help ease traffic congestion as soon as possible.

We appreciate your ongoing patience as this important work continues.
