This weekend was the first that the excavation site on Fairview Road was left open 24 hours, reducing traffic at Fairview Road and Station Street to single lane traffic only.
Temporary traffic lights have been put in place on either side of the construction area to control traffic flow.
To ensure public safety, concrete roadside barriers and fencing along the sidewalk will be installed along the construction site.
The changes came as a result of the high water table, which the Town says is preventing the infrastructure upgrades on Fairview Road from progressing to completion as originally planned.
The construction contractors introduced the use of dewatering equipment to reduce the amount of water at the excavation site.
Unfortunately backfilling and excavating the wet fill at the site each day has slowed construction progress on Fairview Road.
It has been observed that the volume of water flowing in the river channel increased significantly over the weekend.
