i Ry 2A IRE rete 3 A 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, June 11, 1980 Spend $2 million for Hwy 12 improvements + . . LN - While downtown Port Perry is the scene of con- struction activity this summer, there is also a major project underway on Highway 12 west of the community. Elirpa Construction of Pickering has been awarded a provincial contract for the widening and re-surfacing of a five-mile stretch of High- way 12 from Manchester to Greenbank. : It's a big job, with about 45 workers now and more to come, says project super- visor Roy Williamson. The construction will include a new bridge across the Nonquon just north of Durham Road 8, as well as four culverts. The bridge construction will get underway next month, with a detour and temporary Bailley Bridge used to keep traffic moving. Regular travellers of Attends seminar Dr. Eva Mannen attended the Naturopathic Seminar in Toronto from June 6 through 8th. This is a monthly program involving Homeopathic, Naturopathic and Nutrition- al studies. Dr. Mannen has recently attained a Drugless Therapy degree giving her an Ontario licence for Nutritional Therapy and Physiotherapy. . 4s ~ er A { - » - , 4 Highway 12 will be glad to know that the S-curve on the hill near the 9th Concession Road will be eliminated when the new highway is completed. Some 45,000 cubic yards of dirt will be removed from a cut to the west of the present highway, and that repre- sents about 25 per cent of all the earth-moving for the entire five-mile project. Construction got underway at the end of April, and the project is scheduled to be completed by the end of this October. Mr. Williamson said last week that so far, the project is just about on schedule, and with a little help from the weather will meet the completion date. To meet that date, crews are now working a 12-hour day, five days a week. However, on June 15 through September 15, the work week will be cut back. Because Highway 12 is heavily travelled in the summer time by city people getting to the cottage or the campground, construction work will not start before 9:30 on Monday mornings. And all work must cease by 3:30 on Friday afternoons so that weekend traffic will not be slowed down. The cost of the five mile reconstruction from Man- chester to Greenbank is $2 million. Although not definite at this time, it is thought that next year, the stretch south from Manchester to Brooklin will be getting the same treatment. v ry: is under re-construction this summer at a total cost of Dr. Eva M.A. Mannen CHIROPRACTOR NATUROPATH NUTRITIONAL THERAPY R.R.3, Uxbridge } Phone 852-6431 LA.
