Notice: Drinnan Way Closure Planned to begin July 22, 2020

Town of Hinton Infrastructure Services Division is now able to confirm that the planned closure of Drinnan Way will begin on July 22, 2020, and is expected to be complete by end of day July 23, 2020. 

This closure will take place in order to allow for the replacement of a wooden culvert that has reached its end of life. This date has been selected to allow for the presence of all involved partners and utilities. 

Please plan an alternate route on July 22 and 23, 2020, to avoid this closure and anticipate delays on alternate routes due to increased traffic. Please also note that transit route times may be behind 10 minutes at each stop for both July 22^nd  and 23^rd as the bus drivers reroute due to the construction.

Thank you for your understanding as we complete this necessary work.

Town of Hinton Infrastructure Services Division gives notice to all Town of Hinton residents and area travelers that we are currently working to schedule a road closure on Drinnan Way. The closure, which is expected to last two days, will occur the week of July 20th, 2020, and is carried out to allow for the replacement of a wooden culvert that has reached its end of life. 

Due to the scale of this activity, the Town needs to coordinate with many area partners, including local utility companies as well as noting local weather conditions and other similar concerns. As such, an exact date of activity has not been determined, but the Town of Hinton is advising that area travelers plan around the potential of a closure along their route. 

As soon as an exact date has been determined, the Town will share that date for residents awareness. 

We thank you for your understanding as we carry out this necessary construction task.
