Motorists are advised to plan ahead for temporary traffic delays as the City completes road rehabilitation work along the Summit Connector from Monday, Aug. 10, to Friday, Aug.14, 2026.

The work includes milling, surface preparation, paving, and line painting along the right (slow) lane of Summit Drive from Mission Flats Road to Guerin Creek Way, including the Summit Drive and Guerin Creek Way intersection. A small section of paving will also take place on the downhill hairpin section of Summit Drive.

Work is scheduled as follows, weather permitting:
Aug. 10–11: Road milling
Aug. 11–12: Surface preparation
Aug. 13–14: Paving
Nightwork following paving: Line painting

Throughout construction, single-lane traffic will be in effect in the work zone. Traffic control personnel and signage will be in place.

The City says drivers should expect delays, reduce their speed, obey all traffic control devices, and allow extra travel time. Motorists are also reminded of work occurring along McGill Road from Dalhousie Drive and University Drive at the same time, as part of the McGill water main upgrades project.
