About the project

The $3.7 million project will be constructed in two phases on and off Boucherie Road and is anticipated to be complete in late fall 2023.

The two major projects along Boucherie Road will be constructed in two phases and consist of:

  • 800-metre pathway located along Boucherie Road from Ogden to Gregory Roads
  • 1.6-kilometre multi-use pathway located on and off Boucherie Road from Gregory to Green Bay Roads. The pathway includes paved and crushed gravel sections.
  • 1.2 kilometres of upgrades on Boucherie Road from Ogden to Gregory Roads which includes road widening, adding concrete curbs, paving and drainage improvements
  • 780 metres of bike lanes on Boucherie Road from Ogden to Gregory Roads
  • Pedestrian activated crosswalks at Gregory Road, Ogden Road and Mission Hill Road
  • 725 metres of street lighting

We are looking for your feedback about the project and upcoming construction as we minimize the temporary inconvenience of construction.

All input will be shared with the Project Team. Public feedback is helpful for our team as we plan to minimize the impacts of construction while we build.

Construction timelines

Off-road construction work began in late March 2023 and on-road work is now underway and will continue through the 2023 construction season. During construction, there will be traffic interruptions including temporary road closures and traffic pattern changes.

Construction activities have been planned when traffic volumes through the work area are reduced to minimize inconveniences to residents, our local tourism, and commercial establishments in the area. Read the pre-construction notice for more information about construction schedules.

Boucherie Road traffic impacts:

  • May 15 to early July: Single-lane alternating traffic pattern from Montigny Road to Gregory Road. Expect delays of up to 10 minutes during this stage of construction.
  • Early July through August: Boucherie Road closed weekdays from Ogden Road to Montigny Road. Traffic will be detoured via Ogden Road/Thacker Drive/Montigny Road.
  • September through October: Single-lane alternating traffic pattern in effect along the frontage of Quails' Gate winery. Expect delays of up to 10 minutes during this stage of construction.

Boucherie Road Detour: In effect early July through August


What to expect during construction

Construction results in temporary inconveniences such as noise, dust, dirt, vibration and crew and equipment moving to and from the site. Work outside of typical construction hours may also be required on a temporary basis, once approved by the City. Property owner driveway access will be maintained with minor interruptions for moving crews and equipment.

  • Crews will mobilize to the site and stage equipment and materials.
  • Crews will complete stormwater and road upgrade work, install bike lanes and streetlights.
  • Pedestrian access will be maintained and cyclists will be detoured temporarily through Ogden Road to Montigny Road via Thacker Drive.
  • The contractor will coordinate local access for residents living within the work area to ensure continued access to their homes.
  • Slow down signage and speed reader board will be in place along the detour route.

During all stages of construction, access for transit and emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times. Trail users can continue to access Kalamoir Regional Park throughout construction.
