Central Avenue Rebuild – New Construction Start Date – July 8

The Central Avenue Rebuild Project is now anticipated to begin construction on Wednesday, July 8, in the community of Inverness.

Construction was originally scheduled to begin on Monday, July 6. The start date has been adjusted due to a delay in the delivery of required construction materials.

The anticipated July 8 start date remains subject to change based on material delivery timelines.

The project will take place in a phased approach. Phase One extends from the intersection of Broad Cove Banks Road to James Street. To start, residents will see traffic control measures being set up at 7:30 a.m. between Broad Cove Banks Road and the Shean Trail Crossing. Traffic will be reduced to one lane beginning at 8 a.m. and will remain in place until 4:30 p.m.

The roadway will reopen to two lanes of traffic outside of construction hours.

Residents should expect delays and are encouraged to allow extra time for travel.

The Municipality thanks residents for their cooperation. Further updates will be provided should the construction schedule change.
