In an effort to expand and improve the reliability of the hydro distribution system in the downtown core Burlington Hydro will be engaging in a construction project in the City of Burlington’s core. This development will involve the excavation within certain civic roadways to accommodate the expansion of service to the new Saxony Residential Development (presently under construction at the intersection of Locust and Elgjn Streets).
At various times during the construction schedule (estimated to last 2 weeks starting the week of July 31, 2017), area businesses and residents may at times experience daytime road closures, traffic diversions that may impact the flow of traffic and sidewalk closures in the immediate area of construction. The City of Burlington’s traffic department has been consulted and we will work closely with them on traffic and parking matters.
Bethlehem Construction of Burlington has been contracted by Burlington Hydro for the excavation and installation of required equipment below the north sidewalk surface along Elgin Street between Burlington Ave and Blathwayte Lane. They will be posting traffic and pedestrian safety signage as per City of Burlington requirements and relevant Ontario construction and safety standards that provide for the safety of all vehicular traffic, pedestrians and workers affected by this construction process.
Burlington Hydro will make every effort to limit the impact on area residents, businesses and customers visiting the downtown core during this construction period. Accommodations for local area residential access will be a priority and ask for your patience and cooperation during this time. If you should have any questions regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact a Burlington Hydro representative listed below.
