Update on road construction projects throughout the municipality
DIEPPE (NB) — As summer comes to a close, the City of Dieppe wishes to remind motorists that the roadwork below is still underway around the city.
In addition, back to school means higher road traffic in the morning and on the way back home. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you allow for extra travel time during the first few weeks of September, until traffic returns to normal.
Note that school buses may travel through all construction areas.
Projects underway
- Resurfacing of Amirault Street (between Chartersville and Melanson Roads) – Repairs to various underground infrastructures are still underway and will continue until October. This section of road will then be milled and paved. Intermittent lane reductions can therefore be expected until October.
- Major reconstruction of Gauvin Road (between Bras-d’Or Avenue and d’Aulnay Court) – Reconstruction of the road surface is underway and should be completed in October. During this work, this section of road will remain reduced to one lane, and flaggers will be on site to direct traffic.
- Major reconstruction of Virginia Avenue (between Acadie Avenue and Grand-Pré Street) – Reconstruction of the road surface is underway and should be completed in October. During construction, this section will be completely closed to traffic on an intermittent basis. Flaggers will be on site to direct traffic. Local traffic will be allowed for school buses, residents and emergency vehicles only.
- Major reconstruction of Fox Creek Road (between Amirault Street and LeBlanc Road) – Reconstruction of the road surface is underway and should be completed in October. During this work, this section of road will remain reduced to one lane, and flaggers will be on site to direct traffic.
- Extension of Dieppe Boulevard (between Melanson Road and Belle-Forêt Street) – The final layer of asphalt is expected to be laid at the intersection of Dieppe Boulevard and Melanson Road during the week of September 11. This work will require a lane reduction at this intersection.
- Reconstruction of the water supply system on Sunset Street (between Paul Street and Acadie Avenue) – Work will continue until October and will require the intermittent complete closure of this artery.
