Construction on Jackman Drive

Project Overview

Starting in 2025, construction work will begin on Jackman Drive to upgrade the road and underground utilities utilities. This includes replacing the asphalt, installing new sidewalks, and improving the underground water, sanitary, and storm systems.

This project will improve the stormwater system's capacity to withstand more frequent and intense weather conditions, improve accessibility with new curbs, ramps, and sidewalks, and upgrade the street with new asphalt.

Project Timeline

The project will start in late summer 2025 and end in early 2027 with multiple construction phases. The phasing timeline will be updated as construction progresses. Residents directly affected by construction work will be notified in advance.

Newfoundland Power will be on site starting Monday, August 18, 2025.

Work Schedule

Work will take place during the day. The contractor is permitted to work within the hours specified in the City’s Noise Bylaw (7:00 am to 11:00 pm). Daily schedules may vary depending on weather conditions.

What Residents can Expect During Construction

Temporary Overhead Power Line

To allow City staff to safely complete upgrades to water and sewer infrastructure, a temporary overhead power line will be constructed to service residents. In some instances, engineering and construction crews may need to access electrical infrastructure via your property. Planned power outages will be necessary as part of this project. If an outage is planned in your area, Newfoundland Power will notify you in advance.

If you have additional questions, please contact Newfoundland Power at 1-800-663-2802 and reference TWR 448072.

Traffic Detours

There may be traffic detours around construction zones. The City will share detour plans as soon as they become available.

Communications Disruptions

There may be some communications disruptions from service providers, such as Bell Aliant, Rogers, and others.

Property Access

The contractor will work with homeowners and businesses to ensure you can still get in and out of your property during construction.
