This is the official project document. It's a complete closure for 8 months with only local and emergency traffic access. Despite the staged construction they are not allowing any access to through traffic for the entire duration of the project. The detour gets really crazy when they start work on Northfield.

I don't know what the "official" situation is with the resident passes. The construction worker who stopped the person who told me about this said a resident had complained about a child almost being hit and they had instituted a pass system and would not be allowing any non-residents to enter the street. They are only there during regular business hours, so plenty of cars take the side street at other times anyway. No police presence to enforce anything.

Quote:Due to the extent of excavation required to install the new watermain, the roadways cannot
remain open to through traffic while under construction. In order to minimize impacts to abutting
properties, construction will be completed in three (3) separate stages. Work in the vicinity of
Conestoga Public School is planned to be completed during July and August in order to avoid
disruption during the school season. Please refer to the attached drawing showing the
proposed construction staging plan. During each stage, the road(s) will be fully closed to
through traffic. Local and emergency traffic will be maintained during construction.
