Anticipated Impacts
Excavators, wheel loaders, bulldozers, drill rigs, graders, asphalt pavers, and compactors will be used
for construction and bridge rehabilitation. This includes storm sewer, guiderail, traffic signal and street
light installation as well as paving and line painting. Rock breaking during the first month of
construction will be required.
Noise from equipment will be audible and some equipment may cause vibrations. Trucks will deliver granular material, asphalt, and concrete to the site and will haul away excavated material. Noise from equipment and moving of material will be audible.
Motorists should adhere to traffic control signage, posted speed limits, allow for added travel time and
use extra caution when moving through active construction corridors as traffic patterns change.
During this scope of work, the multi-use pathway (MUP) north and south of SJAM Parkway will be
maintained per current conditions outside of the Kitchissippi Lookout Construction project limits.
There MUP connection between Lanark Underpass and the MUP north of SJAM west of Westboro
Beach has also been paved.
Pedestrians and cyclists should use extra caution and adhere to posted signage when localized
detours are in-place, to ensure safety.
