Change of dates for re-opening of Corkstown Road to two way
Due to the weather last Thursday, paving was cancelled. Additionally, due to the rain on Thursday, the proof roll- which is a visual inspection of the subgrade under loading- failed which prevented paving on Friday. Re-work is ongoing to ensure the integrity of the granular base is sound and will the paved later this week.

Anticipated Impacts
Motorists should adhere to detours, 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. Pedestrians and cyclists should use extra caution and adhere to posted signage when localized detours are in-place, to ensure safety. The safety of the public and workers is paramount, and we thank you for your patience during construction
