Power outages that were expected for residents on Jackman Drive in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador, this week have been postponed. The City of Mount Pearl confirmed on May 13, 2026, that the work has been moved to the week of May 19, 2026, due to changes in the construction schedule.
The upcoming outages will affect addresses at 49–77 and 60–64 Jackman Drive. Officials from the Hey Mount Pearl platform note that specific timing for these future outages will be shared once they are confirmed. While the power will remain on for these properties this week, residents at these addresses will continue to see impacts on driveway access through the end of next week, including over the weekend.
The work on Jackman Drive is part of a larger multi-year project that began in August 2025 and is expected to continue until early 2027. The project includes replacing asphalt, installing new sidewalks, and upgrading underground water, sanitary, and storm systems. To allow crews to work safely on these underground utilities, a temporary overhead power line has been installed along the street, which necessitates the planned power disruptions.
Separately, a different power outage is taking place on Thursday, May 14, 2026, from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM. This work is being performed by Newfoundland Power and will affect the St. David’s Park area, including the Royal Canadian Legion and the Tennis Complex.
