Road Marking and installation of speed bumps

05/03/2024

The Public Works Department Mohawk Council of Kahnawake (MCK) would like to advise the community that the next phase of road marking work is expected to begin today (weather permitting).

This phase of the road marking will see fresh paint applied to roads within the community, including R-207, R-132, and R-138. The first phase of road marking is almost complete as crews refresh stop lines and crosswalks.

A center line will also be painted in the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Tunnel (aka CP Rail Tunnel) as a part of the project. Kahnawa’kehró:non are being asked to exercise patience and show courtesy once the new line is painted. This change is required to help alleviate the traffic congestion at the tunnel. Due to the size of the tunnel, some larger vehicles will require more room to pass and motorists are advised to yield to these vehicles when entering the tunnel.

Additionally, crews with the Public Works Department will begin installing speed bumps and traffic bollards starting next week. Work is expected to take approximately two (2) weeks.

Please drive with caution, slow down when entering construction zones, and respect the Move-Over Law when you see flashing lights.

The MCK reminds the public that these works are subject to change due to weather conditions, operational constraints, or work progression.
