The construction is now complete, and the project has entered the maintenance phase. This means we will inspect all aspects of the work done to ensure that it meets our standards. We will also address any deficiencies. Once this phase is complete, we will add a final layer of surface asphalt. This is usually about two years from the start of maintenance. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Engineering division at 519-741-2345 or engineering@kitchener.ca

Their contact information can be found in the contact list provided at the end of this letter.

    You may feel some vibrations during the routine operation of construction equipment; however, studies have shown that these vibrations are much less severe than the vibration level likely to cause structural damage. We do recommend that you remove light, fragile or delicate objects from shelves when construction activity is taking place adjacent to your property.

    During construction most of the time access will be open, maybe intermittent closure for a short period, pedestrian walkway access will be maintained through the site.

    Should you experience any problems during construction, please contact the Project Manager immediately who will address or direct your concern to the contractor if needed.
