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.
