The Town of Petawawa Public Works Department will be overseeing the reconstruction of eight (8) hundred metres of Black Bay Road. The construction area begins at 605 Black Bay Road (St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church) and ends past the driveway of 721 Black Bay Road. The current road width will be increased to allow for a one (1) metre paved shoulder. The construction will begin June 3, 2024, and will involve the following phases:
- Ditching and entrance culvert replacements in specific locations as per conditional survey completed prior to project commencement
- Pulverizing of existing roadway to a granular condition
- Grading and granular preparation of the roadway will follow, along with road paving, shouldering, and reinstatement of those driveway ends affected by the construction
- Pavement markings will be completed at the end of the construction project
- The project is to be completed by July 22, 2024
The construction site will remain open to local traffic through all phases of construction. All residents and businesses, along this section of Black Bay Road will have access to their respective driveways throughout the construction process. Garbage and recycling collection will not be affected.
Residents/business owners should expect minor traffic delays, some dust, and some additional noise due to heavy equipment and trucks. The Town is responsible for dust control during the construction process, and the site will be inspected regularly by Public Works staff throughout the construction process.
The Town of Petawawa continues to invest your tax dollars in infrastructure renewal, and we thank you for your patience during the upcoming Black Bay Road reconstruction project.
