Indications that County Road 49 rehabilitation work will start are going to pop up beginning Monday.
The County says contractor, R.W. Tomlinson Ltd., will begin moving equipment and signs into place ahead of the work, which is expected to begin in early July.
The contractor will begin by replacing culverts along County Road 49, which is expected to take approximately three weeks to complete.
During culvert replacement, there may be single-lane closures in the vicinity of the work. Flaggers will help maintain the flow of traffic and minimize delays.
The major structural rehabilitation of County Road 49 is expected to begin mid to late July. Crews will start at County Road 15 (Northport Road) and work their way south. A minimum of one lane of traffic, operating under alternating directions, will be maintained at all times throughout construction. Drivers can expect delays of between five to 10 minutes.
The contractor anticipates completing subdrain installation, culvert replacements, box culvert waterproofing, concrete rubblization, placement of granular A, and the initial 19 mm asphalt lift by the end of the 2026 construction season.
A more detailed construction schedule is under development. Substantial completion date for this project is Nov. 1, 2028.
