Motorists are urged to exercise caution when travelling through all construction areas and obey road closed signs.

The over $7 million project includes traffic calming measures such as bump outs and lane reductions as well as new water mains, sidewalks and a multi-purpose path.

The project was originally hoped to be completed in 2024, but was delayed due to safety concerns and contractor changes.
