Shaver Road between West Centre Avenue and South Westnedge Avenue will be closed to through traffic beginning Sunday, May 3, 2020 for water main replacement activities. The signed detour for traffic will be east on South Westnedge Avenue (see attachment). The road closure is expected to be lifted by mid-May.
This work is part of a larger project on Shaver Road / South Westnedge Avenue from West Centre Avenue to Romence Road. Lane restrictions. The project includes replacement of water main and storm sewer, traffic signal and sidewalk ramp improvements, as well as new asphalt.
The City of Portage is committed to keeping the traffic flowing during the construction period. There will be periods of lane restrictions; however, access to driveways will be maintained, except for brief periods during milling and repaving operations. Traffic delays can be expected in this area. It is anticipated that construction will be completed by mid-August.
