The Windsor Road concrete pavement work is complete; however, an unusually high amount of uncontrolled cracks has been observed in the finished product. The contractor will perform corrective work to address the uncontrolled cracks, (which includes the removal and replacement of the impacted concrete panels) but this work is weather dependent and is expected to be performed in the first half of 2016.
