By Earlier today, City staff briefed me about the need for an urgent and unanticipated sewer replacement project along a section of Baseline Road, west of Merivale Road. Staff are placing a high priority on this project due to the poor condition of the current sewers. The sewers are located under the east-bound lanes of Baseline Road and provide a sanitary outlet to various commercial and government buildings in the area.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, construction will be carried out during the month of August 2012. To lessen the impact on traffic, work on this project will take place overnight from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., during which time a lane closure will be permitted.
Construction will consist of work to replace 160 metres of 225mm sanitary sewer along Baseline Road. The project scope does not extend to the full right-of-way reconstruction, or the replacement of any storm or watermain works. The existing boulevard and roadway will be reinstated following completion of the project.
If you have any questions about this project, please let me know and I will be happy to follow-up.
