The construction is now complete, and the project has entered the maintenance phase. This means we will inspect all aspects of the work done to ensure that it meets our standards. We will also address any deficiencies. Once this phase is complete, we will add a final layer of surface asphalt. This is usually about two years from the start of maintenance. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Engineering division at 519-741-2345 (TTY:1-866-969-9994) or engineering@kitchener.ca

The reconstruction is being done to replace the older, deteriorated underground services. The following is a brief list of specific improvements being considered:

• Upgrade the existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water mains as required.
