Pearson Ave Stormwater Upgrade

LATEST STATUS

McElhanney Ltd undertook stormwater modelling and detailed design to determine the magnitude of upgrades required to improve the stormwater system at Pearson Avenue and mitigate the potential flooding risk. Construction on the stormwater system between First Street and Third Street is to be completed in 2025.

OVERVIEW

The City’s Stormwater Master Plan (2016) identified the Pearson Avenue Storm main as a critical piece of infrastructure for stormwater conveyance in the City.
The Pearson Avenue / First Street intersection was identified as susceptible to flooding during major system events and recommended a design exercise to consider increasing the downstream capacity.

CONSTRUCTION LOCATION

Pearson Avenue, between First and Third Street.

CONSTRUCTION IMPACT

Sections of road will require closures throughout the construction period. Notices will be delivered to impacted residents a minimum of 48 hours prior to planned shutdowns or road closures.
Expect equipment noise and increased numbers of construction vehicles. Road closures and detours will be clearly marked with traffic cones, and traffic control persons when required. Please follow all detour routes, drive cautiously, and protect our cone zone workers.

TIMELINE

Construction is planned to be completed between late July and mid September. An anticipated construction schedule will be posted here once finalised.
