ITT-02-25 Pavement Preservation – Micro Surfacing of Hunter Street West, Aylmer Street to West Side of Hunter Street Bridge over Otonabee River
Special Statement Update
June 4th, 2025:
Micro surface applications complete. However, to protect and eliminate damage on the micro surface layer from parked vehicles and turning wheels while entering and exiting from the parking spots, all the parking spots for one day will remain blocked. This will allow micro surfacing to cure properly and prevent any damage. Parking signs have been adjusted to reflect the change. Please note that this was an unexpected precaution and we apologize for any inconveniences.
News Release:
Nightly Micro-surfacing Operations Set to Begin on Hunter Street West
Overnight micro-surfacing work is scheduled to occur on Hunter Street between Aylmer Street and Queen Street from June 2, 2025, to June 13, 2025, weather permitting. Night work operations are anticipated to take place for a total of four to five nights.
The decision to conduct work at night aims to minimize disruptions to businesses, pedestrians and traffic in the area.
Parking restrictions will be enforced during construction hours, from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. "No Parking” signage will be posted accordingly.
Vehicles parked in prohibited locations that interfere with the work being done during construction hours will be subject to enforcement actions, which may include the issuance of a penalty notice, towing and impoundment of the vehicle, or a combination of these measures.
Individuals whose vehicles are towed or impounded can call the City of Peterborough Municipal Law Enforcement and Security Services Division at 705-707-3969 on the following business day for information on the towing provider and impound yard location.
Anticipated Start Date: April 2025
Anticipated Completion Date: Fall 2025
Scope of work:
Includes the installation/adjustments of select frames, covers and grates, minor curb removal, curb re-installations, application of emulsified asphalt tack coat, installation of micro surface asphalt treatment and the application of pavement markings on Hunter Street West from Aylmer Street to west side of the Hunter Street Bridge over Otonabee River.
Please note, this project is not a full reconstruction and upgrades may not address all drainage issues or correct existing grading deficiencies.
Lane Reductions and Traffic Impacts:
To facilitate the work on Hunter Street West a combination of parking restrictions, lane shifts, flagging operations and lane closures with posted detours will be implemented during various phases of the work. Micro surfacing operations will be performed during the night to reduce impacts to business and increase overall site safety. As a result, it is expected that local traffic may experience delays within the construction limits.
