About this project

Oxford County has awarded a contract to replace culverts on Oxford Road 2, between 401 Highway and Oxford Road 22, to GIP Paving Inc. of Petersburg, Ontario. The work includes culvert replacements and restoration works as required.

Culvert replacements are tentatively scheduled to begin in May 2023 and be completed by August 2023. Construction schedules are weather dependent and subject to change based on contractor availability and other operational demands. The approximate construction limits are shown (highlighted orange) on the back of this construction notice.

What you need to know

Oxford Road 2 between 401 Highway and Oxford Road 55 will be restricted to one lane of traffic controlled by traffic control persons during working hours. During non working hours, traffic will be reinstated to two lanes.

Oxford Road 2 between Oxford Road 55 and Oxford Road 22 will be closed to through traffic during culvert replacements and traffic will be limited to local residents, businesses and emergency services.

The contractor will be required to maintain access as best as possible to all properties. Some short-term interruptions and delays can be expected during this work. There will be a planned detour route in place for the road closure section including applicable detour signage.

Please continue to have your regular household waste and recyclables to the roadside by 7:00 a.m. on your regular pick up day. If access for waste collection is interrupted by construction, the contractor will collect your bins and containers and take them to a central location for collection. Property owners are asked to mark garbage and recycling containers with their house number so they can be returned to the correct properties.

Please reduce speed and obey construction warning signage within the work zone. Maintain a safe distance from construction equipment and workers while entering and leaving the construction limits.
