The rreduction from 80 km/h to 50 km/h will be on the section of County Road 9 from immediately south of the intersection with North Side Road to 320 metres north of the intersection with County Road 10.

Walker Aggregates reached an agreement with the county in October allowing it to build a tunnel under County Road 9 to connect its properties on either side. In December, council authorized the creation of a temporary road around the work site to accommodate County Road 9 traffic during the construction.
