Part of a west end road will be shut down as city officials look to upgrade underground infrastructure in order to accommodate a new sprinkler system at a home there.
Stephanie Drive is set to be closed between Aspenwood Place to Rochelle Drive – immediately west of Taylor Evans Public School –for three days or so, depending on weather, beginning on Thursday, as outlined in a post on the city’s website.
The shutdown, explained Kyle Gibson, technical services manager for the city, is needed to support the installation of a new sprinkler system at a residential address.
“There is a requirement for a new upgraded 50mm water service from the watermain in the right of way to the dwelling,” he said via email. “The existing watermain is located within the roadway, and to be able to do the connection to the watermain a road closure is required.”
During the closure, local traffic will be allowed along Stephanie Drive, the city post notes, but there will be no through traffic access at 279 Stephanie Dr.
“The north sidewalk will be closed to pedestrians at 279 Stephanie Drive during construction,” it adds. “Please use the nearby crossings at Aspenwood Place and Rochelle Drive to use the south sidewalk.”
