Murray Drive Culvert Replacement, Stream Rehabilitation, Watermain Replacement, and Road Surface Rehabilitation
|
| Project Updates |
|
December 1st 2023 - Project is complete. The Town of Aurora thanks everyone for their patience.
|
| Project Details |
|
Trisan Construction has been retained by the Town of Aurora to complete the storm culvert replacement and upgrade at Murray Drive (near Nisbet Drive), Tannery Creek stream rehabilitation, watermain replacement (between Nisbet Drive and Davis Road), and road resurfacing along Murray Drive (between Nisbet Drive and Yonge Street).
This project entails the removal of existing twin CSP arch culverts to be replaced with a larger Deep Corrugated Structural Plate (DCSP) box culvert to improve flow capacity. This project will also involve rehabilitation of the watercourse by installing roundstone riffle-pool bedding and armour-stone retaining wall to reinforce the channel banks (which is heavily eroded), the replacement of 350mm asbestos-cement watermain (installed in 1958 and due for an upgrade) with new PVC watermain, and roadway surface rehabilitation (replacement of sidewalks, curb & gutter, and mill & overlay top course asphalt).
During construction, Murray Drive will be temporarily closed in the immediate vicinity of the channel (between Nisbet Drive and Davis Road). Construction updates will be provided in the ‘Construction Interactive Web Map’ (click “Launch Web Application” in the link above and search for Construction Project 31113 or Murray Drive in the map).

Devlin Place Stream, Pond, and Culvert Rehabilitation
|
| Project Details |
Why Are We Doing This Project?
In 2019, the Town of Aurora completed a Stream Management Master Plan (SMMP) that identified this site as one of the priority erosion mitigation projects based on the existing level of risk. This project was undertaken to address stream bank erosion concerns and improve the condition of existing infrastructure as per recommendations of the SMMP.
What Are The Proposed Works?
The proposed stream rehabilitation works include:
- Removing failing retaining walls and installing stream channel erosion protection.
- Removing garbage and debris from the watercourse.
- Cleaning out the sediment in the Devlin Place culvert and performing patchwork repairs to extend the life of the culvert.
- Rehabilitating the existing stormwater management pond behind Teasdale court to restore lost storage capacity.
- Restoring areas disturbed by construction with native tree and shrub plantings.
Studies and Design Work Completed
- Land Surveys
- Utility Location Investigations
- Soils Investigations
- Channel Bank Stability Analysis
- Stream Flow Analysis
- Ecology Studies
- Detailed Design Drawings for Construction
Construction Timing Windows
Construction may be staged with one or more starts and stops of work. This will potentially leave the site temporarily inactive to minimize construction impacts on bird nesting, bat maternity roosting, and fish spawning.
Construction Impacts & Restoration Works
To complete stream, pond and culvert rehabilitation works, trees will be removed, however native tree and shrub plantings are proposed to mitigate these impacts and restore the natural area to existing condition or better.

| Project Updates |
January 8th Update:
Sierra Excavating Enterprises has been awarded the project to undertake stream, pond and culvert rehabilitation work by Devlin Place. Construction will take place in stages. Tree removal is anticipated to commence in February, with stream and stormwater pond retrofit work to follow. All work is anticipated to be completed by October, 2024.
The stream rehabilitation work will include installing armour stone walls to stabilize the eroding channel banks, and realignment of the stream. Pond retrofit work will include removal of sediment build up, rehabilitation of concrete structures and installation of armour stone around the perimeter. Culvert rehabilitation work to include removal of sediment build up within and around the culvert and concrete rehabilitation in specific areas of the culvert.
As a measure of safety, the area will be closed during construction and the public are asked to refrain from entering the construction area. Thank you in advance for your patience during the construction phase of this project.
Work completed prior to January 8th update:
Letter sent to homes in the project area in December 2020 to notify the residents of the commencement of the project.
