Lorne Avenue - Construction Corner Update #6 - Week of November 15, 2021

As a resident of Lorne Avenue, you have been receiving regular notices from the Town of Newmarket concerning the reconstruction project in your area.

Over the past two weeks:

• All curb and gutter was completed on Lorne Avenue from Eagle Street to south of the Timothy Street intersection.

• All water main testing was successfully completed.

• The contractor continued to import granular materials for road building in phase one of the project.

As the construction progresses the current detour will be extended to the end of November to allow for completion of Phase One works from Eagle Street to Timothy Street. This extension will allow for the various stages of this phase of the project to be completed more expeditiously.

Over the next two weeks:

• Forming and pouring of concrete sidewalks will be completed. Driveway access will be disrupted when the sidewalk is constructed in front of your home. We will notify you prior to any disruptions. Every effort will be made to complete this work as quickly as possible. Emergency and pedestrian access will be maintained at all times. Increased truck traffic is also needed during this time to import the materials necessary to complete the work.

• The top layer of stone will be installed on the road. While this stone is compacted, those residents who live in the vicinity of phase one will notice some vibration. While the vibration might be felt, it is being monitored to ensure that it does not exceed acceptable limits and will not cause damage.

• Weather permitting, the base layer of asphalt is scheduled to be installed by the end of November. Surface asphalt work will be completed during future stages of the project.

We value your feedback on these updates and we appreciate your patience while we proceed with this reconstruction project. Please contact us at 905-895-5193 to provide your thoughts.
