Colliery Dams Update
Work underway in Colliery Dams Park
this week is proceeding on schedule. On Monday, September 14, workers completed
their site preparation around the area where the auxiliary spillway will be
constructed, followed by work undertaken Tuesday through Friday to remove
trees. The tree removal phase of the project is expected to be completed by
Saturday, September 19, following which workers will turn their attention to
removing logs from the site and preparing the area for the next stage of the
project - construction of the auxiliary spillway.
Once tree removal is
completed, the current public/worker safety exclusion zone will be decreased in
size. The new zone will be smaller and clearly marked with fencing and signage
and will contain the area where the excavation of the auxiliary spillway will
occur. A revised map providing details concerning the fenced off area of the
park will be made available early next week. Additional information concerning
the opening of a temporary trail adjacent to the construction site and a
schedule for the next phase of work will also be provided.
"As this area remains an active construction site,
it is very important for park users to follow the direction of the on site
safety people and to observe signage posted. During the construction stage of
the project there will be periodic short-term closures of the area around the
construction site when equipment or work encroaches onto pedestrian access
routes." - Toby Seward City of Nanaimo
