Lane reductions on Fallowfield Road start July 6

Beginning on Monday, July 6, Fallowfield Road from Larkin Drive to Cedarview Road will be reduced to one lane in each direction to allow the installation of a higher capacity watermain. The work is planned to continue until September.

Larkin Road will be closed at its Fallowfield intersection during off-peak hours on weekdays for the entire construction period.

This project is one of many in the South Urban Community that address higher demand for water due to urban growth.

The work may cause traffic delays; motorists are encouraged to take an alternate route if possible.

Cyclists will be affected in the same way as vehicles unless they dismount and walk their bikes. Access for pedestrians through the Larkin/Fallowfield intersection will be provided.
