While the road will have access maintained for local traffic, the construction includes replacing storm sewers, sanitary sewers and water mains, installing new concrete curbs and gutters and concrete sidewalks, replacing the roadway granular base and the asphalt roadway, restoring boulevards, replacing street lighting, signage, landscaping and pavement markings.

The project was awarded to Behan Construction Limited. The first construction phase will be the section of Brealey Drive between Lansdowne Street West and Mapleridge Drive which will have detour routes posted.

“While road reconstruction projects can be disruptive, it is exciting to see these much-needed improvements on Brealey Drive underway. This Council is committed to infrastructure investments that improve conditions pedestrians, cyclists and motorists and that improve stormwater management,” said Don Vassiliadis, Monaghan Ward councillor. “Thank you for your patience as we get this important work done, Peterborough.”

“During my campaign in 2022, residents expressed to me that completion of Phase 2 of the Brealey reconstruction project was a top priority for them. So after a year of diligent work from both Councillor Vassiliadis and myself alongside the city’s excellent planning and infrastructure staff,” said Matt Crowley, Monaghan Ward councillor. “This initiative marks a significant step towards enhancing infrastructure in Monaghan Ward and to ensuring resident connectivity as our community continues to grow.”

Traffic may experience delays in the construction area.

Northbound and southbound traffic will follow the posted detour route along Sherbrooke Street, Goodfellow Road, Clonsilla Avenue and Lansdowne Street West.

Route 9 Parkhill will operate on a detour route during the construction period.

The westbound route will travel from Brealey Drive to Kawartha Heights Boulevard to Lansdowne Street West, returning to its regular route on Brealey Drive.

Eastbound routes will travel from Brealey Drive to Lansdowne Street West to Kawartha Heights Boulevard to Brealey Drive, where they return to their regular route.

Pedestrian access within the construction area will be maintained throughout the project, however, it is expected that inconveniences may be encountered which will require pedestrian modifications and/or detours outside of the construction area.
