As the new Fire Hall progresses toward completion it is necessary to deliver power and communications from the Base to the site. The Ontario/Yukon Rd utilities trench will do this using an underground duct along the routes shown in the accompanying map. The work will start on November 21 at the new Firehall and gradually trench north to the junction of Ontario St and Yukon Rd, then West along Yukon to reach the Yarrows Gate by January 28, 2012, when work will end. While work is progressing along Ontario St there will be little to no traffic disruption, but as the construction crew turns the corner and heads west along Yukon, traffic flow will be restricted to one lane with the occasional complete road closure in tight areas. At all times during this construction flag persons will be in place to direct and guide traffic safely around the construction. The construction crews will do everything they can to minimize or reduce congestion, and we ask for everybody’s patience and understanding during this period.
