Speers Road Widening

A project to widen Speers Road to five lanes from Third Line to Fourth Line

We have widened and reconstructed Speers Road to five lanes (four through lanes and a centre turning) with separated on-road bike lanes from Third Line to Fourth Line. 

This project included watermain replacement, and Wastewater Collection System upgrades on Speers Road from 670 metres West of Third Line to Fourth Line and the re-lining of the watermain on Fourth Line under the railroad.

The speed limit is reduced to 50 kilometres per hour within the project limits.
