Active Commuting updatesConstruction updatesRoad closures Many capital projects and summer maintenance work have wrapped up, but we’re still taking advantage of the warm weather and last few weeks of fall to finish several projects and maintenance work. Here’s what’s happening around Beaumont this week: New projects/updates: 50 Avenue water feedline construction: Sanitary sewer main replacement work continues along 47 Street and 50 Avenue and the temporary bypass is in place. This work is expected to last one month, pending weather conditions, schedule changes and other unforeseen underground construction factors. 50 Avenue between 44 and 48 Street is closed for the duration of the sewer line replacement. Choose an alternate route or follow the detour in place. Snow and ice control installation – Beaumont Sport and Recreation Centre: Work to install snow and ice guards on the BSRC roof ahead of the winter season is complete. The guards will help prevent snow and ice from sliding off the roof, improving safety for pedestrians and vehicles using the walkways and parking stalls directly below. The north side parking stalls and sidewalks have reopened. Nature Park playground renewal: The Nature Park renewal work is complete and the playground is open again. Ongoing projects: Water main installation – TWP Rd 510 and RR 240: Contractors are installing a water main near TWP Rd 510 and RR 240. The eastbound lane along TWP Rd 510 and RR 240 is closed.

A small road and sidewalk closure is in place for some residents in Rideau Cres. The contractor sent direct notices to impacted residents. Hydrant flushing and winterizing: Water crews will be out around the City for the next month to flush and winterize fire hydrants. Ball diamond safety netting – Four Seasons Park: With the fall ball season wrapped up, safety netting is being installed at the West Recreation Site and Four Seasons Ball Diamonds. Ruisseau sports field construction: Work is nearing completion for the sports field construction behind Ruisseau School. Once the sod is fully installed, the project will be complete. Wastewater system renewal work: A contractor is completing sewer and manhole cleaning and relining work at several locations in Beaumont.
