Construction Residential Projects on Front Road quintalOntaras is causing headaches for motorists.
Several complaints have been lodged in the city regarding traffic delays and several work halts.
Officials say work on the project has been put on hold due to excavation problems and the need for updated traffic control measures.
“There is none yet, because they have to get a new permit for the area around the bridge, and then a new traffic control plan for the area on the side of Country Club Drive and King Street,” Utilities said. said Jim Miller, Kingston’s chief operating officer.
The project has been prolonged due to the halt of work on the ongoing project since July last year.
The construction has narrowed the roadway from four lanes to two, causing concern to residents and motorists in the area.
“This road is under construction for so many years. Secondly, a lot of cyclists are really concerned about their safety and people in general saying that this is a major main street in the city for the residents of the west end, and it is not accessible the way it should be ,” said Coun. Wayne Hill, which represents the area.
Hill said the reduction in lanes combined with potholes and erosion along road sides are major safety issues for his constituents.
“This has been a problem for us for a really long time. It is disappointing for the residents because it has been so many years, it seems, that the road is under construction,” he said.
The project focuses on sanitary infrastructure and the Waterman Line in the area of Front Road and King Street West and with these most recent obstacles faced by construction workers, it remains up in the air when construction will finally resume. Let alone complete.
