The reconstruction of Rollins Drive and Chelford Crescent in Belleville has begun.
The project will involve the reconstruction of the roadway to an urban standard, complete with new concrete curbs and gutters, sidewalks, and replacement of the watermain, storm sewers and sanitary sewers.
Work will take place on Rollins Drive (from the Victoria Avenue intersection to roughly 400m north) and Chelford Crescent (from the southern Rollins Drive intersection to the first bend, roughly 140m east) and is expected to be completed by mid-November.)
Funding for this project was provided in part through the federal government’s Canada Community-Building Fund (CCBF), formerly known as the federal Gas Tax Fund.
Mayor Neil Ellis says, “This section of Chelford Crescent was first constructed in the 1960s. Since then, we have seen a fair amount of development in the area including construction of Lanark Drive and extension of Rollins Drive. This funding will allow us to reconstruct the deteriorating original section of the roadway to ensure it is a viable transportation option for residents in the area for years to come.”
