NEWS RELEASE TOWNSHIP OF CENTRE WELLINGTON
CENTRE WELLINGTON – The first phase of the St. David Street Reconstruction Project, from St. Andrew Street to Garafraxa Street has been substantially completed and the street has been re-opened.
Through the Township of Centre Wellington’s 2022 Asset Management Plan, the St. David Street North reconstruction project was identified as a high-priority project which is needed to replace aging infrastructure that is at or near the end of its service life.
The project is a full reconstruction of St. David Street North, from St. Andrew Street to Edinburgh Avenue, and involves the replacement of municipal underground infrastructure, including the watermain and sanitary sewer, as well as modifications to the storm sewer. In addition, the project includes full road and sidewalk replacement, traffic calming measures, signalized intersection upgrades, a pedestrian crossing at St. George Street, utility relocation, and separated cycling facilities.
The project is being completed in two (2) phases:
- Phase 1: St. Andrew Street to Garafraxa Street.
- Phase 2: Garafraxa Street to Edinburgh Avenue.
Phase 2 of the project will begin in the spring of 2025. In early 2025, Township staff will work with the Fergus BIA on the final touches, including benches, decorative streetlights, and new trees that add to the visual appeal of the streetscape. The Township appreciates the community’s patience and understanding during the construction project.
