About the project

The $3.7 million project is being constructed in two phases, which will 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, with paved and crushed gravel sections
• 1.2 kilometres of upgrades on Boucherie Road from Ogden to Gregory Roads including road widening, 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

What to expect during construction

Construction may cause occasional noise, dust, dirt and vibrations. Work outside of typical construction hours may be required temporarily. Driveway accesses 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
• Signs and reader boards will be placed along the detour route to help regulate speeds

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