King Road underpass opening Friday
(Burlington Post, Dec 11 2013)

Drivers and residents in Aldershot are likely happy to hear the King Road underpass will open on Friday (Dec. 13) afternoon.

A reception will be held on site at 3 p.m., with comments from local politicians and city staff at 3:30 p.m.

Neighbouring residents and businesses have been invited to celebrate the opening and participant in a parade of vehicles through the underpass to mark the opening. The parade will start at 3:45.

The road will be open to traffic at 5 p.m. following the ceremony.

The total cost of the project is estimated at $35 million with $9.8 million from the City, $1 million from the Region of Halton and $24.2 million from CN.

The first phase of construction for the project, which involved installing a large storm sewer to drain the underpass, started in November 2010.
