The capital city has given the green light for overnight work during the Kenmount Road construction project between Polina Road and Peet Street.

The decision came down at city hall last night.

Councilor Ian Froude says the overnight work will be sporadic, and will be done to help mitigate the impacts on nearby business and to make sure the project stays on schedule.

He says because it will only be occurring every now and again, the city will publish a notice to residents on the city’s website before the scheduled work takes place.

Froude says he realizes there are houses nearby, and they will be keeping a close eye on possible impacts for residents.

(He says it is mostly concrete and pavement in the area so sound travels very well, which is something he wants city staff to keep in mind when allowing overnight work to take place.)
