PSA: Road Detour for McNamara Drive

The Town of Paradise is advising residents that effective Tuesday, May 21 a detour will be in place for McNamara Drive to accommodate the installation of underground infrastructure. All traffic will be detoured through Valley Ridge subdivision (see map below for detour route):

Southbound traffic will enter the detour through Burnaby Street
Northbound traffic will enter the detour through Tipperary Street
Access to the Town Hall and Paradise Double Ice Complex will be available from McNamara Drive, however southbound traffic will have to use the detour and traffic control will direct to the facilities

The detour is expected to be in place for approximately one week. The Town has several traffic calming measures in place along the detour route, including:

placing large traffic pylons along detour route,
increasing monitoring of construction site and detour route by Town officials and Municipal Enforcement, and
liaising with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary to increase patrols in the area.

During construction, the public is reminded to proceed with caution and to reduce speeds in construction zones and detour routes.

At this time no interruptions to the water service are anticipated with this portion of the road work. However, should water service be impacted, information and updates will be posted to the Town website (aradise.ca/construction) and on social media (Facebook and Twitter).

The Town of Paradise apologizes for the inconvenience this road work may cause. For more information about road work please visit: www.paradise.ca/roads.
