This project supports the Region of Waterloo's strategic focus area(s):


Project overview
The Region is reconstructing Bleams Road from Trussler Road to Fischer-Hallman Road in the City of Kitchener. We’ll remove and replace all the asphalt and road structure, as well as install a new watermain, and asphalt multi-use pathways on both sides of Bleams Road. We’ll also construct four roundabouts at Trussler Road, Isaiah Drive, Donnenwerth Drive, and Commonwealth Street/Abram Clemens Street intersections.

A Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study was completed in June 2023.
A recommended alternative was approved by Planning and Works Committee on December 6, 2023.

Timing and Closures — May 21, 2024 to December 2025
Construction will done in stages, from Fischer-Hallman Road heading to Trussler Road. During each stage, Bleams Road will be closed to through traffic. Local access will be maintained for emergency vehicles, residents and patrons of the immediate area. As each stage is completed, the road will be reopened to traffic.

Detour
A detour will be in place on Fischer-Hallman, Ottawa and Trussler for through traffic. Emergency Services have been notified of the construction, closures and detours to minimize any disruptions to services.

Pedestrian access

Pedestrian traffic will be maintained along Bleams Road from Forestwalk Street to Fischer Hallman Road. Pedestrians should follow the signs as they walk through the site.

Property and business access

Access will be available to all businesses, institutions and residences in the construction area, with only temporary impacts to access. Businesses remain open. Please plan for some delays and travel carefully in the construction zone. We request that when driving or walking through and around the construction zone you follow and obey the construction traffic signage for your safety and for the safety of the workers.
