Final Paving on Rutherford Roundabout

NEWS RELEASE - Distributed October 26, 2017 8:00 AM

Summary

Paving of the final asphalt lift for the roundabout intersection at Rutherford Road and Nelson Road is scheduled for October 30 and 31 (weather pending). Nelson Road will be closed at Rutherford between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm on these days to facilitate the work. Motorists will experience delays as single lane traffic is alternated on Rutherford and should use other routes where possible.

Link to Strategic Plan: This project supports the City's commitment to Transportation Mobility.

Key Points

Motorists are advised that there will be significant traffic disruptions and are encouraged to choose an alternate route.
The work, tentatively scheduled for October 30 and 31, is dependent on suitable paving weather.
Line painting, road signage and landscaping will follow once the paving work is complete.

Quotes

"Completion of paving is an important final milestone for this challenging project. During the work, traffic will be restricted to alternating one way. We ask motorists to watch out for and obey flaggers on the road."
