Picton Main Street reconstruction to resume in April

RW Tomlinson Limited plans to re-commence work on Phase 3 of the Picton Main Street reconstruction project at the beginning of April.

This phase of the project spans from Spencer Street to Folkard Lane. The municipality report one lane of traffic will always be open during the reconstruction, with signals in place to control traffic.

Residents in the construction area will have access to their properties throughout construction and garbage and recycling collection will remain the same.

Work in Phase 3 involves the installation and upgrade of underground infrastructure including watermains, sanitary sewers, and storm sewers. In 2025, Tomlinson completed the installation of sanitary and storm sewers from 200m north of Spencer Street north to Fawcett Avenue.

This work supports the recommendations in the 2017 East Picton master servicing plan that looked at options for upgrading water and wastewater infrastructure to accommodate future growth in that area.

In addition, the contractor will reconstruct the existing road with new concrete barrier curbs and gutters, a concrete sidewalk, a new widened asphalt roadway surface, and utility-pole-mounted street lighting.

Work is expected to continue until December 2026. Work will occur between 7 am and 7 pm, Monday – Friday. Pedestrians and motorists are asked to approach the site with caution.

Signs will be installed directing drivers on an alternate route around the construction area. The municipality recommends using County Road 6 and County Road 5/Johnson Street to minimize commute disruptions.
