Trisan Construction has been retained by the Town of Aurora to complete the storm culvert replacement and upgrade at Murray Drive (near Nisbet Drive), Tannery Creek stream rehabilitation, watermain replacement (between Nisbet Drive and Davis Road), and road resurfacing along Murray Drive (between Nisbet Drive and Yonge Street).
This project entails the removal of existing twin CSP arch culverts to be replaced with a larger Deep Corrugated Structural Plate (DCSP) box culvert to improve flow capacity. This project will also involve rehabilitation of the watercourse by installing roundstone riffle-pool bedding and armour-stone retaining wall to reinforce the channel banks (which is heavily eroded), the replacement of 350mm asbestos-cement watermain (installed in 1958 and due for an upgrade) with new PVC watermain, and roadway surface rehabilitation (replacement of sidewalks, curb & gutter, and mill & overlay top course asphalt).
During construction, Murray Drive will be temporarily closed in the immediate vicinity of the channel (between Nisbet Drive and Davis Road). Construction updates will be provided in the ‘Construction Interactive Web Map’ (click “Launch Web Application” in the link above and search for Construction Project 31113 or Murray Drive in the map).
