Long duration construction to start next week at Gleneyre Street & Torbay Road

Construction work to replace an old culvert near the intersection of Gleneyre Street and Torbay Road will begin next Monday.

The work will take several months to complete, it should be done by the end of September.

This project includes the replacement of the existing culvert where Gleneyre Street crosses over the Virginia River, additional flood-proofing measures, and minor vertical realignment of a portion of Gleneyre Street near the culvert.

Access to businesses on Gleneyre Street will be maintained from the Torbay Road and Gleneyre Street intersection but Gleneyre Street will be closed to all other vehicular traffic coming from Torbay Road.

Traffic will be detoured to Highland Drive, Dunlea Street and Birchwynd Street.

Sidewalks and trails will be maintained for people walking and wheeling through the area.
