Summary
Construction season in Nanaimo is underway. There are a number of City projects already started, with more projects to start in the coming months. Drivers can plan their commutes and avoid delays by visiting the City's Current Construction Projects website.
Some current major projects underway include:
From April to December, the Hospital Area Transportation and Utility Upgrade project. Single lane alternating traffic along Boundary Avenue, Boundary Crescent, Dufferin Crescent, Waddington Avenue and Townsite Road can be expected with some short term road closures with temporary detours.
From June to September, Neyland Road Water Main Replacement. Single lane alternating traffic along Neyland Drive can be expected.
Other major projects to start later in the year include:
From July to September, Wakesiah Avenue Culvert Replacement. Single lane alternating traffic between Second Street and Third Street can be expected with a full road closure in August with vehicle access limited to local residents.
From September to June 2016, Northfield/Boundary Intersection Improvements. Significant traffic delays can be expected from this construction. Traffic management plan preparation and detour planning is underway to mitigate these impacts.
Link to Strategic Plan: The water and sewer projects support the City of Nanaimo's commitment to asset management. The road, sidewalk and bike lane improvements support the City of Nanaimo's commitment to improved transportation and mobility.
