– The City of Hamilton, as part of its ongoing commitment to upgrading infrastructure, will be improving the road on Fennell Avenue from Upper Wentworth to Upper Ottawa and on Upper Sherman from Rymal Road to Stone Church Road. This work will be completed in two stages. Phase 1 will see upgrades to Fennell Avenue from Upper Wentworth to Upper Sherman. Construction is expected to start today, June 13, 2006 and will take approximately one month to complete. Phase 2 will then begin on Fennell Avenue from Upper Ottawa to Upper Sherman and on Upper Sherman from Rymal Road to Stone Church Road. It is anticipated Phase 2 will take approximately two months. The contract has been awarded to Associated Paving Ltd.
During construction, vehicular access will have lane restrictions. Delays are expected. Local and emergency access will be maintained during these closures. Signs will be posted. Safety is our first concern, for both the public and our workers.
The work is being undertaken to protect the long-term value of the City’s transportation and infrastructure assets and help enhance the quality of life for Hamiltonians. Improvements along this road include: minor sidewalk repairs and road reconstruction. Upgrading road infrastructure on city streets helps to improve traffic flow and ensure safe travel in the future.
Every effort will be made to complete the work in an expeditious manner and to keep any inconvenience to a minimum.
