Sidewalk and curb work, streetscaping elements and preparation for the final lift of asphalt will be achieved throughout June and July. Motorists are advised temporary lane closures may be in place from time to time as crews address this work, even after the asphalt is completed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to expect in Stage Five of Construction:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Final streetscape elements installed<\/li><li>Sidewalks and curbs completed<\/li><li>Preparation for final asphalt<\/li><li>Overnight closure of Main Street from the bridge to Lorne Street for final lift of asphalt<\/li><li>Quality assurance review<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Lift of Asphalt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To complete the final lift of asphalt, a full road closure of Main Street from the bridge to Lorne Street is required to achieve a smooth driving surface downtown. To mitigate the disruption to traffic and impact on the downtown core, Huntsville Council approved exemptions to the noise bylaw so the work can be completed in the evening hours starting at 7:00pm and over-night until 7:00am. It is anticipated that crews will need 1 or 2 nights to complete paving activities. The exact schedule and dates for this closure will be communicated with advance notice, as construction crews plan for and work around weather forecasts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Town of Huntsville and District of Muskoka would like to thank the community for their patience, understanding, and cooperation during this construction project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information please visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huntsville.ca\/en\/roads-sidewalks-and-transit\/streetscape.aspx\">huntsville.ca\/diggindowntown<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diggin\u2019 Downtown road closures and detours will lift by end of day Friday, June 17, 2022&nbsp;and&nbsp;Caroline Street will be reopened to two-way traffic,&nbsp;as construction enters the fifth and final stage [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":111519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[188],"class_list":["post-114776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-town-of-huntsville"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
