Construction Update: Richmond Forcemain Twinning Project (Phase 2)

Sanitary forcemain twinning work in the Village of Richmond is ongoing and the construction will involve a weekend intersection closure at the end of September immediately followed by a seven-day road closure leading into early October. Signed detours will be in place for the duration of the closures.  

Scope of Work

The proposed works include crossing of the new sanitary sewer forcemain on Eagleson Road towards the Jock River.

The work is being completed to improve the reliability and operations of the existing Village of Richmond wastewater pumping station and extend the lifespan of the existing forcemain and to replace culverts at the end of their service life.

During the road closures, residents along Eagleson Road can expect to be detoured to the north to Fallowfield Road or to the south to Brophy Drive. The detours will be coordinated with the concurrent Hydro Ottawa closure of Barnsdale Road.

Eagleson Road northbound will be open to traffic prior to either of these road closures being implemented.
