Projects 18-1380 and 11-2380 - May 5, 2023 update

Street affected: Main Street South, Brampton

Road repairs and resurfacing (Stage 3)

The Region of Peel has been working in your neighborhood to replace the aging watermain and sanitary sewer along Queen Street. This work is required to maintain and improve existing water and wastewater services.

At this stage in the project, the Region of Peel will be replacing the watermain and sanitary sewer under Main Street South. Lane reductions will be required to complete this work.

Traffic impacts

• Northbound Main Street South will be closed to all through traffic from Wellington Street to Queen Street. A detour route will be clearly marked with road signs. Please see the attached map for the detour route. Pedestrian access to businesses will be maintained. No through traffic will be allowed and there will be no on-street parking.
• Southbound Main Street South will remain open but will be reduced to one lane from just north of Queen Street to Wellington Street.
• These traffic impacts are anticipated to start as early as Wednesday, May 10, 2023, and will last for approximately three months, depending on weather and soil conditions. Please expect delays and choose alternate routes if possible.
• It will be necessary to dig a temporary trench on Main Street South from Wellington Street to Queen Street. For this reason, it will not be possible to turn left (east) from Main Street South onto Wellington Street East.
• The current one-way traffic on John Street will be converted to two-way traffic that can be accessible from Chapel Street. The loading zones on John Street will be removed and additional loading zones/short term parking will be added to Queen Street for businesses.
• Detour routes may be adjusted for upcoming special events in the summer.

Emergency service vehicles will be permitted to cross through the closure with guidance from the onsite contractor. We apologize for any delays or inconvenience resulting from these traffic impacts.
