Construction

Major construction projects for 2025 in Barrhaven East, including road resurfacing, sidewalk rebuilds, and other work which may require road cuts, lane closures, or adjustments in traffic, pedestrian, and cyclist patterns are listed below. Some of the projects listed below may also be carried over or delayed from previous years.

Minor works, projects completed in previous years, fibre optic installations, and projects in other wards are not listed.

Projects are sorted by start date.

 

New pedestrian crossover

Stoneway/Forest Gate (east)

July and August, dates to be determined

LAST KNOWN STATUS: NOT STARTED

New pedestrian crossover with beacons to replace the existing school crossing on the east side of the intersection (crossing guard to be retained).

 

New raised pedestrian crossover

Paul Métivier/Beatrice

July and August, dates to be determined

LAST KNOWN STATUS: NOT STARTED

New raised pedestrian crossover with beacons to replace the existing school crossing on the west side of the intersection (crossing guard to be retained).

 

Multi-use path resurfacing

Greenbank through the Greenbelt

3 July 2025 to late-August

LAST KNOWN STATUS: IN PROGRESS

Asphalt resurfacing along entire pathway between West Hunt Club and Fallowfield. During construction, the pathway will be CLOSED to all users. A detour route in the shoulder of Greenbank Road was considered, but setting up the barriers would have cost more than the project itself.

The resurfacing project will buy us five to 10 years to work on a proper redesign and upgrade of the pathway with the NCC.

 

Natural gas substation

Earl Mulligan/Woodroffe

June to July

LAST KNOWN STATUS: COMPLETE

Enbridge will be replacing natural gas infrastructure on the north side of Earl Mulligan near Woodroffe. During the works, traffic entering Earl Mulligan will be diverted to the centre lane, while traffic exiting Earl Mulligan will be reduced to one left turn lane. Traffic impacts are expected to be limited to 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.

 

Sewer relocation

Leikin Drive, between Merivale and Beckstead

20 May 2025 to 11 August 2025 (extended from 20 June)

LAST KNOWN STATUS: IN PROGRESS

Relocation of a deep underground sewer to facilitate future development of the sortation facility. Leikin Drive between Merivale and Beckstead will be fully CLOSED, with a detour route via Beckstead for traffic to/from Merivale.

 

Sidewalk repairs

Chapman Mills, north side, from Clearbrook to Meadgate

Dates to be confirmed

LAST KNOWN STATUS: NOT STARTED

Full rebuild of sidewalks on the north side of Chapman Mills from Clearbrook to Meadgate. Temporary street parking restrictions may apply.

 

Infrastructure connection (private project)

Woodroffe/Deerfox-Stoneway

14 August 2024 to TBD

LAST KNOWN STATUS: DELAYED

Overnight construction at the intersection of Woodroffe/Deerfox-Stoneway to allow for a new water and sanitary connection to the commercial properties on the west side of Woodroffe. No closures expected, but lane reductions may be necessary to accommodate the works.

 

Road resurfacing

Prince of Wales between Rocky Hill and Lodge Road

Dates to be confirmed

LAST KNOWN STATUS: TBD

Prince of Wales Drive was resurfaced in 2023 between Lodge Road and Bankfield. A short section north of Lodge Road was due to be resurfaced but was delayed to accommodate road cuts for the police station construction.

Resurfacing will be completed at a future date, after the police station is complete.
