Town of Wolfville, Nova Scotia

Notice to Residents - Sherwood Drive

Mid Valley Construction is scheduled to begin asphalt remediation on Sherwood Drive between Main Street and Alline Street, the week of June 22nd.  The remedial work will include the removal and replacement of all defective materials as recommended in a geotechnical report completed this spring.  The remediation should be completed by the end of July.

The Town recently completed reconstruction of Sherwood Drive between Main Street and Alline Street.  This is the first phase of the complete reconstruction of Sherwood Drive.  The remaining section between Alline and Pleasant Street is scheduled to be completed this summer.

Soon after work was completed on the first phase, deficiencies with the base asphalt were identified. The base asphalt is the first layer of asphalt placed. The second seal course of asphalt is scheduled to be placed this year. The Town is working with our consultants CBCL and the contractor Mid Valley Construction to identify the reason for the failure and the corrective action needed to be taken.

The Town has withheld payment for this contract item until the cause has been identified and the deficiencies addressed. These repairs will be completed prior to the seal asphalt being placed.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and want to assure residents that we are working to correct the problem and ensure all work is completed in accordance with the contract.

If you have any questions with respect to the work completed or scheduled on Sherwood Drive please contact me at 542-3960
