BURLINGTON, ON
You won’t be using that part of Lakeshore Road that runs from the south end of Maple Avenue. Construction – they are going to raise parts of that road as much as a metre in height.
The work is being done in conjunction with the JBH Capital Redevelopment Project, the City of Burlington and the Region of Halton – the work will ruin from Lakeshore Road and Maple to the Skyway Treatment Plant.
Lakeshore Road will be closed from the corner of Maple Ave. and North Shore Blvd. to Joseph Brant Hospital’s access to the Halton McMaster Family Health Centre (HMFHC), and parking facility from July to September.
Detour plans have been developed to maintain access to the hospital, HMFHC, parking facility and the Brant Centre for staff, patients and visitors.
Detour Routes (Starting July 4)
This is the traffic pattern and routes that will be in place for the immediate future in the LAkeshore Road – Maple part of Burlington.
The road that will lead into the Beachway community and the entrance to the hospital will have bicycle lanes and room for plants.
Eastbound traffic from the Hamilton and Niagara area is encouraged to usethe Eastport Dr. detour route.
Westbound traffic from Burlington, Oakville, and beyond can use either the Eastport Dr. or North Shore Blvd. detour route.
PEDESTRIAN ROUTE & SAFETY
The detour routes will cause a significant influx in traffic in the Brant Centre parking lot and in the parking facility area. For your safety, please walk on the designated yellow pathway beside the parking facility and on the sidewalk beside the Brant Centre when traveling to and from the hospital. Additional speed bumps, concrete curbs and signage will also be installed in affected areas.
The driveway at the loading dock will be accessible during the road closure via Eastport Rd.
HSR Bus Route Detour (Starting July 4)
The Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) Route 11 to Lakeshore Rd. will be using the detour route on North Shore Blvd. stopping in front of the hospital.
What to expect during construction
• Minor traffic delays, please plan accordingly
• Extracted asphalt with exposed gravel roadways.
• Periodic disruptions to water services with advance notice.
• Increased construction noise.
• Potential tremors due to equipment use.
Are they renaming part of North Shore Blvd? My address is 1225 North Shore Boulevard East, and I’m directly across from the Hospital at the current main entrance.
