Dyments Creek Culvert Replacements and Watercourse Improvement

The City is undertaking the replacement of two culverts to increase capacity for Sanford Street and Bradford Street culvert crossings and watercourse improvements from Sanford Street to downstream of Bradford Street.

Project Status

January 2022: Detail design has reached 90%.

Project Features

The objective of this project is to:

• Replace the existing culverts at Bradford St and Sanford St that are in poor condition with larger culverts that can manage more water. This will help to reduce flood waters over topping Bradford St and protect our Wastewater Treatment Facility from flooding. 
• Daylight and restore a portion of Dyments Creek from Sanford Street to downstream of Bradford. This will provide better opportunities for habitat in Dyments Creek, provide an engineered floodplain and a natural channel design.
• Watermain modifications will be made at Sanford St.
  

Schedule

​​Traffic Impacts

​The project will be staged to minimize the disruption to residents, however, a road closure that prohibits through traffic (vehicle and pedestrian) will be required during construction.  Construction will be completed based on the in water works timing windows for any fish species that may be located within the Creek.  Design considerations will be made to attempt to minimize the length of construction duration.  

Properties impacted by construction, will have temporary accesses constructed to allow for driveway access.  ​​​
