For the next two years, the Centennial Road reconstruction project will be a major undertaking for the Town of Orangeville. Running through the Town’s industrial heart, it facilitates much of the industrial park’s heavy vehicular traffic. The reconstruction project will consist of two phases. Tideman Drive to C Line is scheduled for 2021. Tideman Drive to Dawson Road, including the installation of new traffic signals at the Dawson/Hillside and Centennial Road intersection, is planned for 2022. Triton Engineering Services Limited will be carrying out the contract administration and construction site supervision services on behalf of the Town.
Rehabilitation of the Tideman Drive culvert will start the week of July 5. The work consists of the rehabilitation of the existing structure and replacement of the road asphalt pavement and guide rail. The general contractor for this project is Jarlian Construction Inc. The construction period is expected to be about two months. During that period, Tideman Drive will be reduced to a single lane at the bridge, with local access to be maintained.
Rehabilitation work on the Dawson Road bridge is scheduled to begin July 15. The work consists of the rehabilitation of the existing structure and replacement of the road asphalt pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalks, and sewers. The general contractor for this project is Jarlian Construction Inc. The construction period is expected to be about two months. Dawson Road and the pedestrian sidewalk, from Centennial Road to Broadway, will be closed to through traffic during the construction.
Bredin Parkway, from First Street to Goldgate Crescent, will be rehabilitated with a new asphalt surface in 2021. This work is expected to begin mid-July. The construction period is expected to be about four weeks.
Cotton and Honeysuckle Lanes in Montgomery Village will be rehabilitated with a new asphalt surface in 2021. The estimated four-week construction period is expected to begin mid-July.
Other projects include a watermain extension on B Line. This calls for the construction of an additional pipe because of area growth. Stephen Burnett and Associates will be carrying out the construction administration on behalf of the Town. The construction period is expected to be two months with the work being initiated the first part of August 2021.
The Broadway Brick replacement project has been re-scheduled for the fall of 2022. The project will see the replacement of boulevard bricks and sidewalks along Broadway from Wellington Street easterly to John Street to ensure a safe and accessible walking surface.
