Trafalgar Road Improvements - Oakville

Advance notice of any service disruption or construction impacts will be provided to residents in-person, through letter, email and website updates.

Below are some impacts you may experience:

• Dust and mud: The contractor is required to keep dust and mud contained. 
• Morrison Valley North Trail: The trail remains open, but there will be no access to and from Trafalgar Road during construction.
• Noise: Work will be scheduled in accordance with local noise by-laws. Some work outside of regular hours may be necessary for technically challenging construction operations.
• Tree removals: To accommodate road widening, we will be removing trees along the road corridor. Some pruning of hazardous trees and limbs may be required. A certified arborist will direct the planting of new trees and replace trees previously lost through management of hazardous trees. 
• Truck traffic: You will notice occasional increases in truck traffic. Please use extra caution while driving.
• Waste collection: Your waste collection schedule may need to be adjusted to accommodate construction.
• Vibration: You may experience some vibration due to the work being done. As a precaution, we recommend that you remove or secure objects on shelves and walls.

Advance notice of any closures or restrictions will be available through letter, email, social media, road signs and website updates.

The following mitigation strategies have been put in place to minimize the impact on traffic and travel:

• Coordinating public transit: Halton will coordinate with Oakville Transit to ensure transit users have the latest information.
• Monitoring traffic flow: The Region will monitor traffic through overhead vehicle detection at traffic signals; Closed Circuit Television (CCTV); and coordination of network traffic operations.
• Widening one side of the road at a time: This allows two lanes of traffic to continue in each direction during peak hours.
• Using electronic road signs: Road signs will show up-to-date travel times.
