We understand that overnight work is disruptive to those who live and work in the area, and have taken steps to reduce the impacts where possible. While we aim to balance the needs of commuters, businesses, area residents, the community at large and the project, night work is sometimes unavoidable.

crews dedicated to minimize disruption where possible:

Limit the reversing of vehicles with back-up safety beeper.
Aim headlights away from buildings and homes.
Reduce the banging noise from dump truck tailgates.
Set up portable lights in a way that limits upcasting onto buildings.
Ensure equipment is well maintained and running well.

*Please note: As with all construction projects, some work may be re-scheduled due to weather. We’ll provide advance notice when possible. Watch twitter.com/vivanext for last-minute updates.
