CORNWALL, Ontario – In a joint statement on the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 21 the City of Cornwall, Louis W. Bray Construction and the Federal Bridge Corporation announced that Brookdale Avenue is now open to traffic.
This comes after the re-opening of Brookdale Avenue was delayed due to the City’s concerns over the lack of street lights.
The Dec. 21 opening of the major artery is still well ahead of the original January schedule.
“This has been an extensive and comprehensive gateway infrastructure project involving the road, sewers and watermains. It will be of great lasting benefit to our citizens, including our Akwesasne neighbours, and to visitors of our community. We appreciate the patience and cooperation shown by residents and motorists during this time,” said John St. Marseille, General Manager, Infrastructure & Municipal Works.
The City also commented that the project was complex due to all of the underground infrastructure that exists along the route.
The opening of Brookdale marks the final phase of the multi-year Three Nations North Channel Bridge demolition Project.
