The Town of Innisfil is undertaking a number of paving projects in 2020.
JUST THE FACTS:
• The 7th Line is supposed to be widened between the 20th Sideroad and Lake Simcoe, but construction on that project won’t start until sometime in 2021.
• Due to the poor condition of the road, the town has decided to perform selective patching as a holdover until that work begins. Resurfacing will take place at the same time.
• The work should be completed by October.
• One lane of traffic will be maintained at all times.
The town is undertaking a number of other road projects this summer, including;
• Partial-depth milling (removing a layer of asphalt) and paving of Grand Vista Court
• Partial-depth milling and paving of Isabella Street from Ewart Street to Whisker Avenue
• Partial-depth milling and paving of 7th Line from County Road 27 to 5th Sideroad
• Partial-depth milling and paving of Cumberland Street
• Selective patching of 6th Line in various locations
• Selective patching of 9th Line in various locations from 20th Sideroad west approximately 40 metres
• Selective patching of 7th Line from Yonge Street to Lake Simcoe in various locations
Forest Contractors Ltd. was awarded the contract for the road rehabilitation project at a cost of $1,671,758.10.
