A lbert Sweetnam, project manager with SLF Joint Venture, made that com m itm ent in a letter to O akville D irector o f Public Works Ray Green after concerns were raised about the closure. This is required to com plete construction o f the 407's full six-lane cross section and the basketweave structure between the 407 alignment and the Hwy. 403 to 407 ramp. The new extension will run from the Hwy. 403 Freem an Interchange in H am ilton to the Hwy. 403/407 E T R Interchange in Oakville. A ccording to Green, the Town was concerned with the plan to close the Trafalgar Road connec tion permanently until the 407 opens in the sum mer o f 2001. In his letter, Sw eetnam said SLF intends to com plete the 407 construction from T rafalgar to the O akville L ink prior to the end o f this year at w hich tim e the ex istin g traffic m ovem ents betw een T rafalgar and Hwy. 403 will be reinstat ed. In addition to advanced notification signage on the Q E W and D undas Street, SLF had also planned to sign B um ham thorpe Road in O akville and L ow er Base L ine in M ilton as alternate routes to Trafalgar for 403 and 407 traffic. G reen explained that neither o f the latter tw o routes are "high order" roads that should not be signed as detours and said that arrangem ents have now been m ade not to sign B um ham thorpe and L ow er Base Line.

Coinciding with the construction o f water and wastewater pipelines into north Halton, the region is operating a 24-hour, pre-recorded hotline (6931166) which provides residents and businesses along the route with the latest information regarding the construction schedule. Those in the area will be notified when construc tion approaches their property and project managers say impacts to access will be kept to a minimum. The project website can also be accessed at www.thebigpipe.ca. Construction will occur in stages, starting from the Highway 407 right-of-way between Dundas Street and Bumhamthorpe Road, and is expected to be completed by this fall. The initiative will vastly expand water and wastewater capacity in M ilton, allowing fo r the con struction o f 6,700 residential units. Between 500 and 700 acres o f em ployment lands can also now proceed. * F H R Inc. R e a d th e n e w s , A A · GOLFERS New Hours!
