Time-Sensitive Culvert Repair Works at Highway 2, East of Abbey Dawn Road

The City of Kingston has provided permission for Tomlinson to complete short-term time-sensitive repair work to the Highway 2 centreline culvert immediately east of Abbey Dawn Road this month. Workers will wear brightly coloured safety vests and employ a courteous and professional manner while on site. All traffic movements will be maintained except for a restriction for southbound Abbey Dawn Road traffic making a left turn onto Highway 2 (eastbound); these drivers will be signed to use Middle Road as a detour. Speeds within the construction limits will be reduced to 60 km/h, and traffic along Highway 2 in this area will be reduced to one lane and controlled with temporary traffic signals.

The need for this repair work was identified through recent investigative fieldwork for the Abbey Dawn Road, Highway 2, and St. Lawrence Avenue flood protection measures project. It is advantageous to complete the repairs at this time due to the low water levels in the Madoma Marsh. Although in-water works are expected to be limited, we are coordinating with the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority to ensure appropriate environmental protection measures are employed during construction.

The time-sensitive culvert repair work is planned to be completed before winter. Please note that further work in this area will be completed as a part of the Abbey Dawn Road, Highway 2, and St. Lawrence Avenue flood protection measures project, which is expected to commence construction in 2023. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this work, please feel free to contact Radha Malhotra (Project Engineer - Stormwater, City of Kingston) directly by phone at (613) 328-3515 or via email at rmalhotra@cityofkingston.ca.
