October 2024

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 southbound Greenfield Avenue between King Edward Avenue and the Highway 417 on-ramp at Greenfield Avenue, as well as the westbound Highway 417 On-ramp as outlined below. Advance notice, public variable messaging signs, will be installed to inform of the pending ramp closure and night work. In support of this work, a Noise By-law exemption has been obtained between the hours of 10 pm and 5 am.

What: Road closure and overnight work on Greenfield Avenue / Mann Avenue southbound, between King Edward Avenue and the Highway 417 westbound on-ramp. The westbound on-ramp will also be closed nightly. Road closures are in conjunction with a Noise By-law exemption.

Why: The road closures are required for the safety of residents and workers as there is insufficient area to accommodate the paving operation and maintain vehicular traffic on Greenfield Avenue southbound and access to the highway. Following MTO guidelines and approvals, the 417 on-ramp will close nightly from 10 pm to 6 am for this work.

When: Greenfield Avenue southbound (King Edward Ave to Highway 417 On-Ramp), will be closed nightly on three consecutive nights from Monday, September 23 to Wednesday, September 25 starting at 7 pm and running to 6 am the following morning.

Work scheduled for Wednesday, September 25, was cancelled due to weather. Thursday, September 26, has been requested as the new alternate work date, with associated Noise By-law exemption being adjusted as well.

The Highway 417 on-ramp at Greenfield Avenue will be closed starting at 10 pm on the same nights. The noise by-law exemption mirrors these work times. Sunday, September 29 has been approved as an alternate date, if needed.

Where: Southbound Greenfield Avenue and the Greenfield Avenue Highway 417 on-ramp.

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor Green Infrastructure Partners, to complete the work.

What: Nightly northbound and southbound lane reductions will begin on Nicholas Street between the Highway 417 westbound on/off-ramps and Laurier Avenue.

This nightly lane reduction is expected to last until Friday, September 27 at 6 am.

In September, the City of Ottawa will begin a formal abandonment of existing retired sanitary sewers located mainly on NCC lands north of Churchill Avenue and extending over to Patricia Street.

What: The City of Ottawa is formally abandoning existing sanitary sewers that are no longer in use, located primarily on NCC lands north of the Westboro Beach community. These sewers have been previously retired and disconnected from the active sanitary sewer system.

The work will consist of filling the abandoned sewers with flowable fill concrete, removing the tops of maintenance access structures, backfilling, and reinstating any areas disturbed to carry out the work.

Why: The retired sewers have been disconnected from the active sewer system over the years as newer sewers have been constructed. It is best practice not to leave retired underground sewers indefinitely to avoid problems on the surface if they fail. By filling with flowable fill concrete, the integrity of the surrounding lands is maintained.

When: This work is planned to take place over several weeks in September and October 2024.

Where: The proposed work will occur primarily on NCC lands with access from the Kichi Zībī Mīkan Parkway and Island Park Drive. Access from residential areas will occur at the north end of Churchill Avenue, north of Ferndale Avenue, and at the intersection of Pontiac Street and Patricia Avenue.

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor, R.W. Tomlinson Limited, to complete the work.

Traffic impacts

Traffic impacts on local streets will be minimized. Construction traffic will be present to carry out the work at the north end of Churchill Avenue north of Ferndale Avenue, and at the intersection of Pontiac Street and Patricia Avenue. All other traffic impacts will be limited to access points to the site from the Kichi Zībī Mīkan Parkway and Island Park Drive.

On-street parking and local access

Local access will be maintained throughout the project. On-street parking will be temporarily prohibited locally at the north end of Churchill Avenue at Ferndale Avenue, and at Pontiac Street and Patricia Avenue to provide unencumbered access for the contractor to complete the work at those locations. All other locations do not impede access or parking.

Construction disruptions

The contractor will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the everyday life of your family and/or operation of your business, but, as you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during the work, such as traffic delays, noise and dust. You may also feel vibrations due to heavy equipment operations.

The City of Ottawa will be completing a sewer repair as part of sewer rehabilitation works in your area. 

What: The sewer repair work will involve exposing a localized section of the sewer pipe, repairing the pipe, and reinstatement of the road. The repair is required to prepare the sewer for lining. The contractor will return at a later date to perform sewer rehabilitation using a Non-Styrene Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) lining process. The CIPP method of construction is less disruptive and can be completed quicker than traditional construction techniques.

Why: Sewer rehabilitation is required due to the age and condition of the existing infrastructure.

When: The sewer repair is expected to begin in late October. The repair is expected to take several days to complete. Please note this work is weather dependent. A subsequent notification letter will also be distributed to your residence or business in advance of the start of sewer liner installation to provide further details.

Where: The sewer being rehabilitated is located on Elmira Drive between Cobden Road and Lambeth Walk.

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor, Clearwater Structures Inc., to complete the work.

What is Non-Styrene Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP)?

Non-Styrene Cured in place pipe (CIPP) is a sewer lining process where a styrene-free resin (glue like plastic) in a saturated tube is inserted into an existing pipe and inflated to take the shape of the existing pipe. Heat is then added to the inflated tube to cure (harden) the resin using hot water or steam. Once the resin has cured, a new seamless pipe has been installed in the sewer. The final step in the process is to cut holes in the newly installed CIPP liner to allow for flow from connected laterals to flow into the sewer. The use of styrene-free resin mitigates the odours emitted by standard styrenated resin during construction.

Traffic management

To accommodate the proposed construction, lane reductions and/or alternating traffic can be expected. Access to local businesses and private properties will be maintained throughout the construction period. Access for pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained.

On-street parking and local access

On-street parking restrictions will be needed to facilitate the work. Local access will be maintained to residents, business owners and emergency vehicles. In the event that access to your driveway will be impacted, you will receive 24-hours’ notice and be provided with a Temporary On-Street Parking Permit (orange form) 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 within the public right of way is not permitted. Should you have additional concerns about reduced access, such as business deliveries or accessibility requirements, please contact the project manager listed below.  

Construction disruptions

The contractor 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 construction, such as traffic delays, parking restrictions, and noise. 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).

Contact information

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

Impact on the right of way and adjacent private properties

The construction is within the City’s right of way but may result in some disruption to part of the private property directly adjacent to the work. The City will reinstate sections of landscaping, driveways and walkways that are disturbed by construction. However, if you have plants or any other assets located within the City’s right of way that you want to preserve, we suggest that you may want to move them in preparation for the construction work.

Contractor responsibility

As part of this contract, the contractor is assuming full responsibility for the construction work until it is entirely complete as well as any damages to private property resulting from these construction activities. In the event of such occurrences, all claims for damages should be immediately reported both verbally and in writing to the contractor and to the City’s on-site representative. This will ensure prompt notification of appropriate authorities to complete the claim investigations. 

Construction disruptions

The contractor will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the everyday life of your family and/or operation of your business, but, as you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during the work, such as traffic delays, noise and dust. You may also feel vibrations due to heavy equipment operations. Vibrations from construction activities are quite common and are rarely a cause for concern. 
We would like to thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Beginning in the fall of 2024, the City will begin preparation work for sewer rehabilitation in your area. The City will be using a trenchless technology called PVC Fold and Form pipe lining to minimize the impact of construction. 

What: The preparation work will involve cleaning and inspection of the sewer. The contractor will return at a later date to perform sewer rehabilitation using a PVC Fold and Form pipe lining process. Rehabilitation using PVC Fold and Form pipe liners minimizes the impact of construction by repairing the existing sewer without having to dig. The PVC Fold and Form pipe lining method of construction is less disruptive and can be completed quicker than traditional construction techniques.

Why: Sewer rehabilitation is required due to the age and condition of the existing infrastructure.

When: Sewer cleaning and inspection work in preparation for rehabilitation is expected to begin in September. The preparation work is expected to take between one and three days to complete on each street. Please note this work is weather dependent. A subsequent notification letter will be distributed to your residence or business in advance of the start of sewer liner installation to provide further details.

Where:

Ward 16

• Anna Avenue from Admiral Avenue to 120 metres west of Admiral Avenue. Pedestrian detours can be expected.

Ward 17

• Clover Street between Brookfield Road East and Gregg Street.
• Kaladar Avenue between Brookfield Road East and Dartmouth Avenue.

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor, Clearwater Structures Inc., to complete the work.

What is PVC Fold and Form Pipe Lining?

PVC Fold & Form pipe lining is a sewer lining process where a folded PVC liner is inserted into an existing pipe and then formed to the shape of the existing pipe using heat. Once the liner has cooled, a new seamless pipe has been installed in the sewer. The final step in the process is to cut holes in the newly installed liner to allow for flow from connected laterals to flow into the sewer.

Traffic management

To accommodate the proposed construction, lane reductions and/or alternating traffic can be expected. Access to local businesses and private properties will be maintained throughout the construction period. Access for pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained. 

On-street parking and local access

On-street parking restrictions will be needed to facilitate the work. Local access will be maintained to residents, business owners and emergency vehicles.
