Residents may have noticed construction and road closures along Thompson Drive this week, as the city continues road work in a few key areas.

 

Mayor Colleen Smook says most of the current work is taking place on Thompson Drive from Cree Road, near KFC, to Beaver Crescent in the Giant Tiger area. Crews are also doing prep work on Dominion Bay in Southwood.

 

Smook says crews have been removing curbs, installing catch basins, and getting the area ready for sidewalk and paving work.

 

She adds that Thompson Drive will remain a construction zone for some time, though work won’t be happening there every day.

Other paving work is also scheduled for Dominion Bay, Centennial Drive West, and Princeton Drive. Smook says once the asphalt plant is brought in and the paving gets underway, the work is expected to move quickly.
