Winston Street Sewer ProjectWinston Street Sewer Project<div class="ExternalClass93F254D953F54EDF87DB0F5856D25E13"><p>The Winston Street Sewer carries wastewater from the City of Burnaby to the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant in the City of Delta. To accommodate future growth in the City of Burnaby, and ensure continued protection of public health and the environment, Metro Vancouver is replacing the existing pipe with a new, larger pipe. It will be approximately 3.2 kilometers long and be installed by open trench and tunneling methods. </p><p>Work is occurring over several years in phases. Tunneling construction for Phase Two started in May 2022. The final section of tunneling is expected to be complete by the end of 2024, with underground finishing work and restoration to continue through to summer 2025.​<br></p><ul class="fa-ul"><li><span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-light fa-file"></i></span><a href="/services/liquid-waste/ConstructionDocuments/winston-street-sewer-fact-sheet-2024-10-30.pdf" target="_blank">Fact Sheet - Winston Street Se​wer​​</a>​<br></li></ul></div>Winston Street, from Lougheed Highway to east of Piper Avenue, City of BurnabyProject

 

 

Construction work progressing Construction work progressing <div class="ExternalClassB953F58B8F7047BBBC4AC6F6DD4B2BFE"><p>​Metro Vancouver and our contractor, Pomerleau Bessac Joint Venture, understand that this work has been disruptive to the community. We had expected to be finished work on Winston Street west of Bainbridge Avenue sooner, however, we encountered supply chain issues and identified potential sink holes that needed to be repaired before allowing traffic back in this area safely. This section has been mostly restored and remaining repair work is underway. We expect to open up the western end of Winston Street to two-way traffic by the end of November. We appreciate the community's understanding and patience as we complete this important infrastructure project.<br></p><p>Tunnel construction for this phase of the project began in mid-2022. On the eastern end of the project, we are working on the final section of tunnelling, which is expected to be complete by the end of 2024. Underground finishing work and restoration will continue through to summer 2025. Finishing work and restoration will be significantly less disruptive than the tunneling activities.<br></p><p>Read the full update in the <a href="/services/liquid-waste/ConstructionDocuments/winston-street-sewer-newsletter-project-update-2024-10-30.pdf">Winston Street Sewer Fall Project Update Newsletter​</a>.​<br></p></div>11/4/2024 8:00:00 AM

Impacts and mitigationImpacts and mitigation<div class="ExternalClassC44CF563D98443E6AB29616698E46CEC"><p>Construction impacts may include:</p><ul><li>Construction noise and vibration</li><li>Traffic pattern changes and delays</li><li>Construction vehicles in the area<br></li><li>Periods of extended working hours<br></li><li>Parking restrictions</li><li>Dust<br></li></ul>​ <p>There will be temporary lane closures and detours along Winston Street and Lougheed Highway as the project progresses. Bike detours and parking restrictions will be in effect near the work zones. Residents and businesses will be notified in advance about specific traffic impacts as the project progresses. </p><p>Motorists and cyclists are advised to use alternate routes and follow the direction of signage and traffic control personnel.</p>​<br></div>
Work hoursWork hours<div class="ExternalClass54B939E3462E4CB7833B478DE5B1A700"><p>From fall 2022 onwards, crews will begin tunneling work which will require extended working hours. Due to the nature of tunneling, equipment is required to run continuously to safely complete this work, therefore crews will be working 24 hours a day, seven days a week.</p><p>Piling and other noisy activities will be scheduled to take place during the day. Noise levels will be monitored during construction and all work will comply with City of Burnaby bylaws or granted bylaw variances.</p> ​<br></div>
