Drivers travelling on Hunter Street from downtown Peterborough to East City and vice versa can expect delays this summer.

The City of Peterborough has awarded a contract to Brennan Paving & Construction Ltd. to complete micro surfacing on Hunter Street from Aylmer Street in the west and across the Hunter Street Bridge to Museum Drive in the east.

According to a notice from the city, the project is scheduled to begin in late June and continue until the fall.

The work will include installing and adjusting select frames, covers and grates, minor curb removal, curb re-installations, application of emulsified asphalt tack coat, installation of micro surface asphalt treatment, and the application of pavement markings.

A combination of parking restrictions, lane shifts, flagging operations, and lane closures with posted detours will be implemented during various phases of the work. Local traffic may experience delays.

The city says the micro surfacing operations will be performed at night to reduce impacts on local businesses and to increase overall site safety.
