Administrator | Nov 24, 2025 | Comments 2
The final paving work in Wellington is set to begin Tuesday, Nov. 25, weather permitting.
Clearway Group, the municipality’s contractor, will be paving in the following locations:
Prince Edward Drive — 300 metres from Wellington Main Street to Mount Grove Crescent.
Wellington Main Street — From 462 Wellington Main Street to Cleminson Street.
Cleminson Street — 200 metres from Wellington Main Street to the Millennium Trail.
Belleville Street — 300 metres from the Millennium Trail to First Avenue. Only the western side of Belleville Street will be paved as well as both sides at the trail crossing.
Work will take place between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Nov. 25-27.
There will be no full road closures during paving operations; however, lane restrictions will be in place. One lane will remain open during the work. Traffic control will be in place.
As paving takes place on Wellington Main Street, temporary access restrictions will take place in front of Carla Court, Twelve Trees Lane, MacDonald Street, Shourds Street and Cleminson Street.
Additionally, access to businesses and private driveway entrances along these sections will be temporarily restricted during the work. Once the work is complete and the asphalt has cooled, access will be restored.

The County actually put out a notice advising that final paving would take place in the summer during the warmer weather. Everything I have read suggests that temperatures should be above 10 degrees celsius and preferably dry for the successful application of pavement. It has to do with proper compaction and adhesion. Application in the wrong conditions apparently leads to premature failure of the pavement. I guess we need to hope that this will not be the case.
Am I the only one who is confused by this notice? I recall the contractor stating, in early spring, after the first paving, that they were awaiting warmer weather to finish the job. Temperatures are actually cooler now. And, with the final paving being “weather dependent”, we’ve got three days of rain forecasted starting tomorrow, and then snow flurries. I recognize the unscheduled setbacks on the Millennium Trail, but why oh why is this part of the project taking so long?
