Starting late July, the City of Ottawa will begin pre-construction work in the Manor Park community, such as pre-construction surveys and utility locates, in advance of the construction on the new sewers, watermains and associated road reconstruction work as part of the Jeffery Avenue, Arundel Avenue, Farnham Crescent et al Integrated Renewal project. Construction equipment and materials will be mobilized to the site shortly thereafter. As the project limits are quite large, you may not see work in your neighbourhood until next year.
** This is not the start of full construction, but rather preparatory work to ensure utilities are properly identified before excavation begins. That said, components of the project, including traffic calming measures and sidewalks, are still under consideration.
What: Construction activity related to the installation of new sewers, watermains and associated road reconstruction.
Why: The purpose of the work is to renew the aging infrastructure within the project limits.
When: This work is tentatively planned to begin the week of July 28, 2025. Completion is anticipated by the end of October 2026, weather dependent.
Where: Affected areas within the Manor Park Community include:
- Arundel Avenue, from Farnham Crescent to St. Laurent Boulevard
- Braemar Street, from Ava Road to Arundel Avenue
- Farnham Crescent, from Arundel Avenue to north-side dead-end
- Finter Street, from St. Laurent Boulevard to west-side dead-end
- Jeffrey Avenue, from St. Laurent Boulevard to Braemar Street
- Kilbarry Crescent, from Sandridge Road to Ava Road
Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor, Thomas Cavanagh Construction Ltd., to complete the work.
