City to start its spring roadwork

City crews are about to begin spring roadwork at several locations around town.

Work includes surface paving, micro-surface treatment and crack sealing, starting mid-May, and anticipated to be complete by November 2022.

Seven roads will receive new surface asphalt paving: Fairbairn Street between Wolsely and Hillside streets; Ford Street between Chamberlain and Lansdowne streets; Langton Street between Hilliard and Water streets; Lansdowne Street West between Monaghan Road and Park Street South; Monaghan Road between Edison Avenue and Riverside Drive; Sherbrooke Street between Bethune and Reid streets; Woodglade Boulevard between Glenforest and Kawartha Heights boulevards.

Two roads will receive full-depth asphalt pavement structures: Parkhill Road East between Television Road and the Trent Canal and Television Road between Parkhill Road and the CP Rail tracks

Micro-surface treatment will be completed on Milroy Drive between Chemong Road and Towerhill Road.

“Grinding and paving operations along Fairbairn Street, Lansdowne Street West and Sherbrooke Street will be conducted under road closure at night between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. to reduce the impact on traffic,” a city release states.

“Grinding and paving operations along Monaghan Road and Woodglade Boulevard will be conducted under road closures during July and August to co-ordinate with reduced activity at nearby schools during the summer. Parkhill Road East and Television Road pulverizing, grading and paving operations will require a single-lane closure with flagging operations for a duration of an estimated five days for each side of the road.”

Pavement crack sealing will also take place at various locations. This is meant to extend the life of the road by preventing infiltration of water into the asphalt pavement surface and the structure below the road.

No road closures are expected during the pavement crack sealing, the city states. However, the locations will experience short delays with flagging operations, lane reductions and potentially shifting traffic lanes where required.
