COVID Planning and Engineering
Municipal Infrastructure Projects
To minimize risks to our residents and workforce during the COVID19 emergency, municipal infrastructure construction projects planned within existing residential areas were generally limited until safe work protocols were adjusted to include the risks associated with the pandemic. The following projects are continuing or expected to commence ahead of the 2021 regular construction period:
• Loyalist East Business Park Phase 2 Servicing
• Annual gravel road maintenance program
• Amherst Island 2017/ 2019 flood damage repair to shore roads
Some construction projects may need to be delayed further, depending on availability of labour, material, equipment and whether we can ensure that Township staff and our contractor partners can safely work during the COVID-19 pandemic. We thank you for your patience during this time.
