Anticipated Completion Date: July 2027
The City of Peterborough awarded the above noted project to Henderson Construction.
Status Update:
The Contractor remains behind schedule, however they are continuing operations proactively. It is currently anticipated that completion will not be achieved this Fall and will require remobilization in Spring 2027 to complete remaining works. If completion is not achieved this fall, the City anticipates the following or combination of the following scenarios:
- The site remains under construction by the Contractor through Winter months, while the contractor remains responsible for access and winter maintenance.
- The roadway is reopened under temporary asphalt condition, while the City remains responsible for access and winter maintenance.
- The Contractor achieves a milestone where base asphalt is placed and the roadway is temporarily reopened under partially completed conditions.
A future update will be provided in the near term since each scenario is dependent on future weather conditions.
Proposed Pedestrian Route
Given the proximity of the project to Immaculate Conception C.E.S., particular consideration has been given to maintaining a safe and practical pedestrian route around the construction area.
The recommended pedestrian route from the west side of Mark to the east side of Rogers Street is as follows:
- Pedestrians approaching from the west side of Mark Street should proceed north/south as appropriate to the designated pedestrian crossing at the Mark Street/Robinson Street intersection.
- Pedestrians should use the designated crossing to cross Robinson Street and access the east side of Mark Street.
- From there, pedestrians should proceed north along the east side of Mark Street toward Hunter Street East.
- Upon reaching Hunter Street East, pedestrians can continue across Rogers Street and head south along the east side of Rogers Street.
- The opposite of the above, is suggested for access from the east side of Rogers Street to the west side of Mark Street.
- Pedestrians should follow this suggested route and remain outside the active construction area.
This route is being suggested to provide pedestrians, including students and families travelling to and from the school, with a clear route that avoids travelling through the Robinson Street construction limits.
The City will continue to monitor pedestrian conditions throughout the project and will adjust the pedestrian routing, signage, or traffic control measures as required to accommodate changing construction conditions. All temporary traffic and pedestrian control measures will be implemented in accordance with the applicable requirements of OTM Book 7.
Scope of work:
The scope of work includes a variety of installations, including new storm sewers, underground stormwater storage chambers, sanitary sewers, water services, concrete curb and gutters, concrete sidewalks, road base and asphalt, asphalt multi-use trails and associated pedestrian crossing improvements, line painting, landscaping, topsoil and sod, tree plantings, concrete head wall, fences and signage on Robinson Street from Mark Street to Rogers Street
Lane Reductions and Traffic Impacts:
To facilitate the work on Robinson Street from Mark Street to Rogers Street a road closure with signed detour(s) will be implemented during various phases of the work.
Access for local traffic will be maintained during the closures, unless notification is provided under separate notice. It is expected that local traffic may experience delays within the construction limits
