Road closure extension: Main Street southbound, Colonel By Drive to Greenfield Avenue (April 8 to May 10, 2024)

The City of Ottawa has commenced construction on the new watermains, sewers, and associated road rehabilitation work as part of the Greenfield-Main-Hawthorne et al. reconstruction project. To facilitate this work, the City of Ottawa has approved the closure of Main Street southbound from Colonel By Drive to Greenfield Avenue outlined below.

What: The southbound closure of Main Street from Colonel By Drive to Greenfield Avenue to accommodate the safe coordination of the deep storm sewer maintenance hole installation at the Main Street and Greenfield Drive intersection. This closure will extend the existing southbound closure of Main Street, currently closed southbound from Greenfield Avenue to Hawthorne Avenue. The closure of Greenfield Avenue southbound from the 417 on ramp to Main Street remains in place.

Why: The extended southbound Main Street closure is required for the safety of residents and workers, as there is limited area to accommodate the open cut excavation and the necessary labour, materials and equipment.

When: The southbound closure of Main Street has been extended to May 10.  The scheduled closures may be modified as needed, for example if weather affects the schedule, or if conditions change.

Where: Main Street southbound between Colonel By Drive and Greenfield Avenue.

Traffic impacts

The detour for vehicles travelling northbound / southbound on Colonel By Drive wishing to travel northbound Greenfield Avenue is via Hawthorne Avenue.

Egress for 10 Main Street will be northbound on Main Street to Echo Drive eastbound. Note that the southbound closure of Greenfield Avenue and Main Street (separate notice) continues in conjunction with the closure detailed herein.

A map showing the road closure and detour as listed above.

Garbage collection

The contractor is aware of the garbage collection schedule and is required to maintain access so that garbage can be collected at the curb. If vehicular access is interrupted for any reason, the contractor is responsible to move the garbage from the homeowner’s curb to a common location where it can be picked up. Empty containers will then be returned to the appropriate homeowners/businesses.

Construction disruptions

Green Infrastructure Partners (GIP), formerly Aecon, will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the everyday life of your family and/or operation of your business, but there may be some inconvenience during the course of the operation of the work, such as delays when travelling through the construction zone, noise and dust. You may also feel vibrations due to heavy equipment operations. Vibrations from construction activities are quite common and rarely cause any problems. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation. For construction activity hours of work, the City of Ottawa follows provincial requirements and the City’s Noise By-law (2017-255).
