Residents in part of Brampton should expect construction activity around Attmar Drive and The Gore Road this summer as Peel Region begins work on a major sanitary sewer installation project.

The project, which will continue until September, will involve continuous tunnelling work to help shorten the overall construction timeline and reduce the long-term disruption for nearby residents.

Peel Region said the work is being carried out under the City of Brampton’s noise bylaw, which allows tunnelling operations to continue 24 hours a day, seven days a week when required.

Despite the around-the-clock schedule, the region said it does not anticipate significant noise impacts during the tunnelling phase of the project.

“Under the City of Brampton Noise Bylaw, tunnelling work is allowed to take place continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to reduce the impact of our work,” Peel Region said in a project update.

While tunnelling crews will be working around the clock, the delivery and removal of construction materials will be limited to daytime hours, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., to minimize disruption in the surrounding neighbourhood.

The sanitary sewer installation is part of Peel Region’s ongoing efforts to maintain and expand wastewater infrastructure needed to support a growing community.

Officials said the work will help maintain reliable wastewater services and ensure the region’s water systems can continue to support residents and future growth.

Drivers, pedestrians and cyclists travelling near the construction area are being reminded to use caution, watch for crews and equipment, and consider alternate routes where possible.

“We understand construction can be disruptive, and we appreciate your patience as we work to improve our community’s infrastructure,” Peel Region said.
