Update Re: James A. Gifford Causeway Widening Project
While no official date has yet been set for the commencement of this project, Peterborough County staff continue to work with our partners to ensure all the necessary approvals from Federal Government authorities are in place prior to any work commencing on the Gifford Causeway, with a goal to start work in the near future.
The work planned is to expand the rock base of the Causeway to reinforce the base of the roadway. This is the first phase of a multi-year plan for the James A. Gifford Causeway. The rock expansion contract has been awarded to Drain Bros. Excavating with rock fill being placed on the south side of the Causeway. The rock expansion project is a multi-year contract and it is anticipated that the work will continue throughout the winter and will extend through 2019 and 2020.
Upon completion of the rock expansion project, rehabilitation of the asphalt surface of the 2-lane Causeway is planned to be completed.
Traffic control will be provided with a reduction to one-lane at points along the Causeway throughout the project. The public can follow the progress of the project on this webpage as well as through social media (Facebook @PtboCounty and Twitter @PtboCounty).
We would like to thank the public for their patience throughout this important project on the County’s busiest roadway.
