    Construction Notice – Peel Street North Reconstruction

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    On behalf of the Town of The Blue Mountains, MTE Consultants has completed the detailed design and tendering for the Peel Street North Reconstruction project. This will include the full reconstruction of Peel Street North from Highway 26 to Georgian Bay, and Bay Street West from Peel Street to the Little Beaver River.

    The project has been tendered and the construction contract has been awarded to Walker Construction Limited. Work is expected to begin in late July, with completion before the end of November 2025.

    Project Scope

    • Roadway improvements including new watermain and storm sewer, concrete barrier curb and gutter and 7 metre asphalt roadway.
    • Addition of 2.7 metre concrete multi-use trail on the north side of roadway.
    • Installation of street lighting to meet Town standards
    • Georgian Trail trailhead parking.
    • Re-profiling of the peak of the roadway to improve sightlines.
    • Restoration of disturbed areas to match existing conditions.

    What To Expect

    You may experience traffic delays, lane restrictions, dust, noise, vibrations and other inconveniences during reconstruction. The Town will work with the contractor to reduce these impacts where possible by maintaining standard working hours and providing written notice of planned service interruptions or restrictions. We appreciate your patience throughout the project. Work will be occurring mainly within Town property with very limited work on private property for service connections. Should you have any concerns during construction, please contact the contractor’s Site Supervisor.

    The Town will not be responsible for damage to any privately owned features such as landscaping, decorations, etc. located on Town property within the right-of-way. The Town will identify privately-owned features and discuss removal options with the property owner prior to removal by the Contractor.
