Updated road closure at Wellington for next two to three weeks

A new road closure set up for the Wellington water and sewer trunk construction project is under way.

Belleville Street, from the Wellington water tower to the intersection of the Millennium Trail, will be reduced to one lane.

Traffic on Belleville Street will be controlled by lights.
This set up is expected to be in place for approximately two to three weeks.

Project background
A new trunk watermain is under way to accommodate the anticipated increase in wastewater flows from new developments.

The new trunks will be constructed from the location of the existing water and wastewater treatments plants to the east along Wellington Main Street, north on Cleminson Street, east along the Millennium Trail and then connect to the new water tower on Belleville Street.

A watermain upgrade will be completed starting at Prince Edward Drive and Elmdale Street, going south to Wellington Main Street, and west along Wellington Main Street to the treatment plant.

The project also includes a new sanitary pumping station located on the Millennium Trail near the intersection with West Street. This pumping station is a component of the new trunk sanitary sewer.

The municipality expects to complete the project by the end of 2025.
