NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION - County Road 83 (Dashwood Road) Reconstruction - Phase 2

Phase 1 of the County Road 83 (Dashwood Road) Reconstruction project was completed last year by Van Bree Enterprises. Construction of Phase 2 will take place in 2025.

B. M. Ross and Associates from Goderich are the engineers for the project.

Construction work is anticipated to commence in early April (if weather permits).

For more information regarding this project, an Open House will be held, Tuesday March 25th, 2025 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at the Dashwood Community Centre.

Dashwood Road is a full reconstruction project, including removal and replacement of the storm sewer system (Municipal Drain) as well as service connections to the property line. Information related to the private drain connections was provided last year. The project also includes installation of a new watermain and water service connections to the property line of buildings fronting the work. The road will be fully rebuilt with new curb and gutter, paving and new sidewalk. Disturbed asphalt or concrete surfaces will be restored with similar materials. Lawn areas will be restored with topsoil and sod. The construction is to be completed in Stages and will be detailed at the Open House.

Traffic will be maintained through the construction zone but there will be lane restrictions for the contractor to complete the installation/ replacement of the existing infrastructure. Where possible driveway access will be maintained. There will be times that driveway access will be restricted or closed. The contractor will notify the affected properties.

Prior to the construction project star􀆟ng a preconstruction survey will be completed. VAN BREE Enterprises have retained OZA Inspections Ltd. to complete the preconstruction survey on the existing properties. The survey is to include all buildings (inside and out) to verify existing conditions. They will start by delivering letters to assist with these inspections. This will be co-ordinated between the property owner and this firm. This survey is to be completed to document pre-construction conditions of the proper􀆟es to allow a comparison of conditions should a claim arise as a result of the contractor’s works. It is in everyone’s best interest to allow the inspection to occur.

Garbage and recycling should be set out for collection at the normal time and location. Your waste and recycling bins should be marked with the civic address as the constructor may need to carry them to the end of the street and return them if his work operations are blocking access for the collection vehicle.

This is an intrusive construction project, and your patience and cooperation are appreciated. For inquiries please contact:
