Construction begins this month

We know it’s been some time since we’ve been in contact. We wanted to reconnect with you to see if you have any feedback, concerns or questions. If you’re curious about the construction work, we’re doing, or what work is happening next, we can answer your questions.

The construction inspector is the first person to contact on site. If you require special access to your property for moving, or are waiting for a special delivery, give the inspector enough notice so your request can be accommodated, if possible.

We know the work during a reconstruction project is an inconvenience for you to get to your property. Please let us know if you need more temporary parking passes. We hope your waste is collected on the regular day as normal, and that you’ve been able to place your waste by the curbside by 7 a.m. The contractor should be relocating your waste as required and returning any containers belonging to you in a timely fashion. If there are any issues, please let us know.

Starting this week, Sousa Construction will begin the next phase of the Highland Road East reconstruction project. This work will take place between Delaware Ave and Stirling Ave South with some additional surface works happening on Delaware Ave. Over the next couple of weeks residents may notice intermittent interruptions to water service as a temporary watermain bypass is installed. Currently the entire project is scheduled for completion by July 2024.

We’re happy to meet with you, or discuss by phone, any concerns, or questions that you may have. Please do not hesitate to contact the city’s project manager, manager Eric Costa at eric.costa@kitchener.ca or 519-741-2200 ext. 7414.
