On-street parking and driveway impacts

To allow the work to be completed in a timely manner, on street parking is prohibited during the closures. The contractor is obligated to provide 24-hour notification of temporary loss of access/egress. In the event that access to your driveway is restricted due to construction activities, a Temporary On-Street Parking Permit (orange form) will be distributed to permit on-street parking within two blocks of your residence. Residents with electric vehicles will need to find alternative charging arrangements when access is restricted. The use of extension cords by residents within the public right of way, particularly for charging EV vehicles, is not permitted.

Due to the dynamic nature of the construction, there may be occasions when construction equipment and/or contractor vehicles may impose short term impacts to access/egress to your property. The operators of these equipment/vehicles will be present and can accommodate access/egress upon request. Please just be patient in this regard.

Should you have additional concerns about reduced access, such as business deliveries or accessibility requirements, please contact the project manager listed below.

The City of Ottawa has commenced construction on the new watermains, sewers, and associated road rehabilitation work as part of the Greenfield-Main-Hawthorne et al. Reconstruction Project. To facilitate this work, the City of Ottawa has approved the closures of Concord Street North and Montcalm Street as outlined below.

What: Full road closures of Concord Street North between Greenfield Avenue and Havelock Street, and Montcalm Street between Greenfield Avenue and the dead end.

Why: The closure is required for the safety of residents and workers, as there is limited area to accommodate open cut excavations and the necessary labour, materials and equipment.

When: The closures of Concord Street North and Montcalm Street will begin mid-March and remain closed until late summer 2025. Water and sewer work on Concord Street North between Montcalm Street and Havelock Street will be the first activity, with reinstatement works in the wider area expected to start in late April early May as the frost comes out of the ground.

Where:

• Concord Street North from Greenfield Avenue to Havelock Street.
• Montcalm Street from Greenfield Avenue to the dead end.

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor Green Infrastructure Partners Inc. (GIP), formerly Aecon, to complete the work.

Traffic impacts

During the closure of Concord Street North and Montcalm Street on-street parking will be restricted, and streets will be closed for use of local traffic only. Local access will be maintained and is defined as those living within the limits of the road closure. Short duration disruptions to access / egress to / from driveways may occur, but vehicle / equipment can be moved to facilitate residents upon request. Written notification will be provided for longer disruptions.

Garbage collection

The contractor is aware of the garbage collection schedule and is required to maintain access so that garbage can be collected at the curb. If vehicular access is interrupted for any reason, the contractor is responsible for moving the garbage from the homeowner’s curb to a common location where it can be picked up. Empty containers will then be returned to the appropriate homeowners/businesses.

Construction disruptions

Green Infrastructure Partners (GIP), formerly Aecon, will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the everyday life of your family and/or operation of your business, but there may be some inconvenience during the course of the operation of the work, such as delays when travelling through the construction zone, noise and dust. You may also feel vibrations due to heavy equipment operations. Vibrations from construction activities are quite common and rarely cause any problems. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation. For construction activity hours of work, the City of Ottawa follows provincial requirements and the City’s Noise By-law (2017-255).

For any emergency outside normal working hours, please call the City at 3-1-1.

The City of Ottawa has commenced construction on the new watermains, sewers, and associated road rehabilitation work as part of the Greenfield-Main-Hawthorne et al. reconstruction project. To facilitate this work, the City of Ottawa has approved the closure of Harvey Street and Echo Drive as outlined below.

What: Full road closures of Harvey Street from Main Street to Echo Drive, and Echo Drive from the dead end at Highway 417 to Main Street. Access / Egress will be maintained through either Harvey Street or Main Street at all times.

Why: The road closures are required for the safety of residents and workers, as there is limited area to accommodate the open cut excavation and the necessary labour, materials and equipment required for water, sewer, and road works.

When: The closures will begin mid-March and run through late September/early October 2025. The scheduled closures may be modified as needed, for example if weather affects the schedule, or if conditions change. Work will progress from the Harvey Street at Main Street intersection towards Echo Drive, with significant Echo Drive disruptions expected to start late spring to early summer.     

Where:

• Harvey Street from Main Street to Echo Drive
• Echo Drive from the dead end (Highway 417) to Main Street

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor Green Infrastructure Partners Inc. (GIP), formerly Aecon, to complete the work.

Traffic impacts

Local access and egress from Main Street to either Harvey Street or Echo Drive will be maintained at all times. Local access is defined as those living within the limits of the road closure. Given the narrow corridor and the deep excavations, on-street parking on Harvey Street and Echo Drive will be severely reduced to facilitate the underground work on the local streets.

Garbage collection

The contractor is aware of the garbage collection schedule and is required to maintain access so that garbage can be collected at the curb. If vehicular access is interrupted for any reason, the contractor is responsible for moving the garbage from the homeowner’s curb to a common location where it can be picked up. Empty containers will then be returned to the appropriate homeowners/businesses.

GIP will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the everyday life of your family and/or operation of your business, but there may be some inconvenience during the course of the operation of the work, such as delays when travelling through the construction zone, noise and dust.

As part of the City of Ottawa’s annual infrastructure maintenance cycle, culvert replacements will occur to improve drainage and roadways. This notice is to advise that construction in your neighbourhood will be undertaken in spring 2025. This work is being conducted to complete the replacement of three culverts to help improve your roadways and maintain surface drainage in your community.

What: Three culverts will be replaced using open-cut construction.

Why: The culverts have reached end of life and require immediate replacement.

When: This work is planned to begin in March and completion is anticipated by the end of March 2025, weather permitting.

Where: All three culverts are located on Emmett Road at the following locations:

• Emmett Road, 0.21 km north of French Hill Road
• Emmett Road, 0.85 km north of French Hill Road
• Emmett Road, 0.95 km north of French Hill Road

The construction activity will require a two-week road closure of Emmett Road between Wilhaven Drive and French Hill Road, with a detour in place. Local access for residents will be maintained.

The detour will be via Wilhaven Drive, Sarsfield Road, and French Hill Road.

Who: The City has retained the contractor, In-Depth Contracting, to complete the work.

Traffic impacts

In order to safely complete this work, a road closure as well as night and weekend work may be required to limit traffic impacts. A signed detour route will be provided.

The affected roads will have information and construction signs installed and maintained throughout the construction sites for the duration of the replacement to keep you informed of the changing conditions. Expect some delays in your travel time over the course of these repairs. Significant effort is being made to reduce the duration of the construction impacts in your community.

Access to any local businesses and private properties will be maintained throughout the construction period.

Construction disruptions

In-Depth Contracting will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the normal life of your family and/or operation of your business, but as you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during the course of the operation of the work. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation. For construction activity hours of work, the City of Ottawa follows provincial requirements and the City’s Noise By-law (2017-255).
