A two-lane roundabout is being recommended for a busy intersection in the city’s north end.
The intersection improvement is prompted by the need for infrastructure upgrades along South Edgeware, from west of Balaclava Street to Highbury Avenue, to allow for a deep trunk sanitary sewer connection between the Yarmouth Yards industrial park and the new sewage treatment plant.
Infrastructure upgrades are required on South Edgeware Road from west of Balaclava Street to Highbury Avenue to provide a deep trunk sanitary sewer connection between Yarmouth Yards and the new sewage treatment plant. This project includes the installation of trunk sewer and sanitary forcemain, Secondary transmission main and watermain replacement, and storm drainage improvements.
The construction cost of the roundabout at Burwell Road would be in the range of $3 million, with annual operating and maintenance costs estimated at $11,000.
Daniel Koppert, the city’s Manager of Capital Works, advises, “The South Edgeware Road Trunk Sanitary Sewer project is a multi-year phased project. Phase 1 (Woodworth Avenue Construction) was included in the 2026 Capital Budget.
“Phase 2 (South Edgeware Road – Waterworks to Burwell Road) will be included in the 2027 Capital Budget submission.
“Phase 3 (South Edgeware Road – Burwell Road to Highbury Avenue) will be included in the 2028 Capital Budget request. Costs associated with the construction of Alternative 3 will be included in the Phase 3 (2028) budget request.”
