The Province of Ontario’s List of Essential Workplaces identifies critical infrastructure repair of roads as essential work.  Drummond/North Elmsley Township will be starting the reconstruction of Tennyson Road the week of April 20.  Culvert replacements and ditching will take place first followed by pulverizing and resurfacing of the 14.7 kilometres of roadway which will likely be done in sections.  The public can expect delays and periodic stretches of single-lane traffic and detours while culverts are being replaced.  The project is expected to take several months.

In addition to the usual traffic control and signage, anti-viral precautions will be taken for the safety of contractors working on site. This will include physical distancing measures and facilities for handwashing and disinfecting at the construction site.
