Construction crews are making significant progress on the 16 Road Guardrail Project and aim to finish work this June. 

The project aims to enhance road safety through several critical measures, including removing outdated guardrails and reinforcing road shoulders. This preparatory work is complete and will allow for the installation of new, modern guardrails designed to meet current safety standards.

With the old guardrails removed and the new road shoulders paved, the construction crews are now focused on installing the up-to-date guardrails.

To accommodate the construction work, 16 Road, between M Road and O Road, is temporarily closed to through traffic. Motorists are advised to use the designated detour via 17 R​oad to circumvent the construction area.
