Project Update

The Town would like to thank residents that attended the in person Pubic Meeting in December 2022. The project team will continue to move forward to finalize the modified design option.

Highlights of the modified design option include the following elements:

  • Narrow travel lanes and wide paved shoulders
  • Slope stability and erosion protection
  • Traffic calming measures
  • Limited impact on the natural environment and property

What to Expect Next

Utilities

Hydro One will be mobilizing to complete hydro relocations at the south end of Aberdeen Road at Hillside in August (weather permitting). Following this, Bell, NPEI, NRBN and Cogeco will follow with their relocations. During the utility relocation work, the road will be closed.

Road Construction Work

Once the utility relocation work is completed, the project will go out for public tender late 2023/early 2024 with construction commencing in Spring 2024.

This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada.

Project Description

The project involves reconstructing Aberdeen Road and Hillside Drive from Ashby Drive to King Street. The road will be widened for vehicular safety and improved sightlines. Improvements will also be made at the intersection of Hillside Drive and Aberdeen Road.

The proposed construction improvements will include the following:

  • Streetlighting improvements
  • Hydro relocations
  • Community connectivity
  • Slope stability
  • Ditching and grading improvements
  • Traffic calming measures

The project will align with several of the Town's plans, including:

    Aberdeen Road is an existing 2-lane rural road between King Road and Hillside Drive. Partially located within the community of Beamsville, with mostly agricultural land uses with some rural residential houses. As identified in the Town's Capital Plan and other Town master plans, Aberdeen Road was a corridor for potential review and improvement. Improvements to Aberdeen Road are in response to community connectivity, active transportation, and pedestrian safety.

    The project schedule includes a sidewalk installation connected to the Ashby trail.

    1. A geotechnical investigation (which looked at the rock and soil under the roadway and surrounding areas) indicated the pavement is in poor condition. There are some slope stability concerns near Hillside Drive.
    2. The Town's Transportation Master Plan identified Aberdeen Road as a short-term priority for active transportation improvements and road reconstruction. The Active Transportation Strategy identified Aberdeen Road as a signed route for cyclists.

    It's intended that Aberdeen Road reconstruction include:

    • New pavement
    • A design solution that accommodates active transportation use on-road (specifically for cyclists) as well as in the boulevard (for pedestrians)
    • To nominally shift the road in the proximity of Hillside Drive to address slope stability issues.
