The road rehabilitation is anticipated to be completed in 2026 (May/June to September), pending funding and approvals, and a minimum of one lane of traffic is anticipated to be maintained throughout the duration of the work.
A Public Information Centre is being held to provide additional information and identify the nature of the work, as well as answer any questions regarding the project.
Date: April 22, 2026
