At the March 18 meeting, city council will be asked to approve the contract for widening Highbury Avenue to four lanes from Ron McNeil Line to South Edgware Road and extending the roadway south to Hwy. 3.
The lowest bidder was L82 Construction of London at just over $23 million.
Work is expected to begin in April and be substanially completed in December.
Two lanes of traffic will be maintained during construction.
The work will include the installation of roundabouts at Ron McNeil Line, South Edgeware Road and the Hwy. 3 bypass.
The report to council notes, “the roundabout at Highway 3 is within Ministry of Transportation (MTO) jurisdiction. It has been agreed that the city will construct
the roundabout as part of the Highbury project and MTO will operate it upon completion.”
