Lawson Road construction between Cedarview Drive and Irvine Road will be in effect until late May.
By John Murphy
You may have noticed that the work on the Lawson Road Culvert over the Centennial Creek has begun. It has an estimated projected end date of sometime in May.
The plan by the City’s contractor is to:
· Repair and renovate the culvert including concrete and chain link fence repairs.
· Removal of the build-up of sediment, debris and vegetation.
· Extend existing soffit drain outlets.
What to expect during construction
Hours of work: Construction will take place between 7a.m. and 7p.m. and the city will do its best to reduce the dust, noise and other inconveniences.
Sidewalk Access: While both sidewalks are passable now, extra care is needed as you walk through a construction. The north sidewalk will remain open and the south sidewalk is to be considered closed.
Vehicle Traffic: We are asked to be careful as bicycles and cars will be sharing the road lanes. Lawson Road will be maintained with one narrow lane in each direction.
On-Site Communication: There are times when contractors need to communicate with homeowners about what is happening on-site. This could be about driveway access, water shut-offs, pre-construction inspections, and site restoration work (landscaping, installing pavers etc.). If you need to speak with staff on the construction site, please ask for the Site Inspector. If you experience a disruption, have a specific access need or related accommodation request, contact the Field Ambassador listed below.

Building a great city takes time, and better infrastructure for all of us is worth the wait.
