Huron Street Reconstruction - Phase 1

Work on the first phase of the Huron Street Reconstruction project, between the Huron Street bridge and John Street, has largely wrapped up for 2022.

Here’s an update on what has been done, and what work remains to be completed:

FINISHED

• Underground infrastructure (watermain, storm sewer, sanitary sewer) installed
• Some sidewalk installed
• Curbs and gutters installed
• Base layer of asphalt applied
• Intersection improvements added

TO BE DONE

• New traffic signals (winter 2022)
• Intersection work at John Street (spring 2023)
• Remaining sidewalks, driveways, turf restoration (spring 2023)
• Surface coat of asphalt (summer 2023)

Please note that some sections of sidewalk on Huron Street, between John Street and the Huron Street bridge, will be unavailable. Pedestrians are asked to follow the detour signs.

We appreciate the community’s patience as we continue working on this important infrastructure upgrade.

Some temporary road closures will be necessary during the week of October 3-7 as part of the ongoing Huron Street road reconstruction project.

• Huron Street will be reduced to one lane
• The traffic lights at the Huron/John intersection will not be in service, and traffic flow will be controlled with portable traffic lights
• The Huron/John Street intersection will be closed to northbound and southbound traffic
• John Street will be closed between Norman Street and Hibernia Street
• The St. Vincent Street intersection will remain open
• The Mornington Street intersection will be closed
• The right-hand turn from Huron Street onto Mornington or William Street (before the lights) will still be available

As work on the Huron Street reconstruction project continues, a number of changes will take place starting Tuesday, Aug. 2:

• The intersection of Huron Street and Mornington Street will reopen, although the intersections of Huron Street and Douglas Street, and Huron Street and T.J. Dolan Drive will remain closed
• The intersection of Huron Street and St. Vincent Street will reopen
• The intersection of Huron Street and John Street will be closed at Norman Street to northbound traffic. That means it will not be possible for northbound traffic to turn onto Huron Street from John Street, or to travel through the intersection. John Street will also be closed between Huron Street and Hibernia Street. It will still be possible for southbound traffic to turn onto John Street from Huron Street.
• Two-way traffic will be continue on Huron Street. Between Mornington and St. Vincent Street, the two-way traffic will travel along two lanes. From St. Vincent Street to just west of John Street, two-way traffic will travel along a single lane, with portable traffic lights used to control traffic.

Please be advised that St. Vincent Street at Huron Street will be temporarily closed to through traffic from June 15 to June 30, 2022.

This road closure is necessary to allow for the construction of the Huron Street to continue through the intersection of Huron and St. Vincent Streets.

There will be no access to and from Huron Street from St. Vincent Street during that construction period.
