Exhibition Street Reconstruction

The City of Guelph will reconstructing Exhibition Street (from St. Andrew Street to Robertson Drive). We will be upgrading watermain on Verney Street and Robertson Drive. Reconstruction will include the replacement of underground utilities and surface works including sanitary sewers, storm sewers, watermains, services to property line, asphalt, curbs, sidewalks and other miscellaneous works.

Through this project, we will be upgrading watermain in advance of the new Verney Booster Pumpstation. The project will replace underground infrastructure at the end of its service life and increase capacity for future growth. Through the Exhibition Street Reconstruction, we will also enhance accessible travel by replacing existing sidewalk with wider sidewalk and infilling the new sidewalk and addressing drainage challenges.

Have a look at the information package for more details on the upcoming construction.
