Crews are scheduled to begin site preparation work this week. The road will remain open, with signals at Cherryhill Road and Brealey Drive being energized before the road closure is implemented.  

Construction is expected to be completed by fall 2025. In 2024, Behan Construction Limited was awarded the contract for the project.

The Brealey Drive Major Infrastructure Project started in the spring of 2024, with a pause in construction over the winter.

The reconstruction project includes replacing storm sewers, sanitary sewers, and water mains, installing new concrete curbs and gutters and sidewalks, installing a new off-street multi-use trail and on-street cycling lanes, replacing the roadway granular base and the asphalt roadway, restoring boulevards, and replacing street lighting, signage, landscaping and pavement markings.

Existing trees and vegetation throughout the Brealey Drive corridor will be impacted during the work as required to support construction activities. Landscaping remediation work will take place when construction is complete.

Residents should expect traffic delays while construction is underway.
