While there will be no ribbon-cutting ceremony for this phase, the opening of the new section of the road will allow traffic to flow “in a controlled manner,” according to a statement.

The mid-section opening today does not include the railway crossing.

This section, which extends from Langford Parkway to Landing Lane, is scheduled to open in early October.

A formal ribbon-cutting will take place at that time.
