The City of Pickering said works have been progressing well on the Beachfront Park Master Plan with all site demolition and shoreline revetment work completed.
It said staff will provide project updates on the Phase 1 Implementation and Alex Robertson Park Gravel Parking Lot.
The project is approximately one-third complete in its construction phase which is reflected in the total expenditures to date. The current expenditure on the construction contract is $2,880,810.82 (plus HST) billed as of January 31, said the city’s Chief Administrative Officer’s (CAO).
“Work has been progressing well since construction began in mid-September with the establishment of the staging area at Alex Robertson Park. To date, all site demolition and shoreline revetment work has been completed, including the installation of steel sheet piles and armourstone,” said a city announcement.
It said the installation of helical piles – which serve as the foundational support for the steel and concrete walkway structure – began in January 2025. Delivery of precast concrete decking and steel beams commenced in February 2025.
These structural components represent a significant portion of the overall project budget. The project remains on budget and on track for completion by late June 2025.
