$27 Million Cabana Road Corridor Upgrades Continue
Preliminary Work Begins on $14 Million Phase 4
Mayor Drew Dilkens was joined by ENWIN President and Chief Executive Officer Helga Reidel as well as Ward 1 Councillor Fred Francis to announce the details for the next phase of the $27 million project to modernize Cabana Road West from Dougall Avenue to Highway 3. Phase 4, which begins at Dominion Boulevard and stretches to Highway 3, is in its preliminary stages and includes about $14 million in improvements.
Phase 4 includes the expansion of the road from two to four lanes; wider sidewalks; active transportation facilities; and upgraded water mains, storm sewers, street lighting and traffic signals. This work will begin in the spring of 2023.
Work will soon be underway by ENWIN to relocate their utility lines on this stretch of Cabana Road. This work must be complete before road construction can begin. During the relocation process, residents may experience momentary outages as ENWIN switches power line sources.
The overall project is possible through City Council’s capital investment of $47 million for road reconstruction and upgrades in 2022, as well as a contribution from the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP), including $939,915 from the Government of Canada and $783,184 from the Government of Ontario.
