The city announced Tuesday that it is ready to begin "in-water targeted dredging work" in Chedoke Creek.
The city estimates the project will take four months or less to complete and aims to be finished by Dec. 31 at the latest. The city hired Milestone Environmental Contracting Inc. to complete the work for just under $6 million.
In a Tuesday statement, the city said that residents in the Cootes Paradise area may notice an "increased level of truck traffic" on Macklin Street North, and construction sites on Longwood Road South, and near the Desjardin Trail.
Kay Drage Park and the access trail behind the Nicholas Mancini Centre will both be closed for the duration of the project.
On Thursday afternoon, the Desjardin pedestrian bridge will be closed while the dredging machinery is placed in the creek.
The dredging crew will work on dredging the creek from 7a.m. until 7p.m. until the project is complete.
