Paving plan for First Avenue East set to roll for Monday

First Avenue East from Mariner's Park through to Third Avenue East is the scene of some extensive preparation work this week. 

That as crews make ready for a paving plan that will bring an end to the long running repairs to water and road infrastructure that began last December.

The work which was part of the Local State of Emergency had seen the road closed for a good portion of  2023, a period which saw extensive work underway towards other elements beyond just the water issues. 

The roadway only recently reopened to traffic on a gravel base as the bulk of the major infrastructure work was completed.

The City outlined the paving plan this morning as part of a social media message.

As part of the advisory, the city observed of the disruption to traffic today, with the start of the paving program anticipate to start on Monday. The City notes that they will have more information as it becomes available.
