Cornwall Perimeter Highway project update – October 24 to 30

Transportation, Infrastructure and Energy
Paving and roundabout construction will continue on the Cornwall Perimeter Highway throughout the coming week, from Monday, Oct. 24 to Saturday, Oct. 30.

Construction this week will include installing curb along the highways and adding the interior circles of the Maypoint Roundabout. Workers will continue to activate lights this week along the main stretch of highway.

• Traffic will continue to use temporary roads around the Maypoint intersection. Travelers should watch for direction signs when posted.

• Travel on the Trans Canada Highway will remain in both directions but may be reduced at times to one lane in each direction.

• Motorists should consider using alternative routes when entering and leaving Charlottetown, especially during morning and evening commuting hours.

Drivers are asked to be alert and courteous for the safety of workers, pedestrians, and their fellow motorists. The Department of Transportation, Infrastructure and Energy appreciates the patience of the traveling public during delays caused by construction.

Phase 1 of the Cornwall Perimeter Highway is on schedule and scheduled for completion in mid-to-late November.
