The full closure of Mary Street between Elizabeth Street and East Mary Street in Picton — originally scheduled for October 27-28 — will now take place from Monday, November 3 until Wednesday, November 5.
The closure is necessary to install new sanitary and storm piping within the Mary Street and York Street intersection.
An extra day has been added to the closure due to the discovery of additional rock in the intersection.
The road closure is related to the York Street reconstruction project. The municipality is tackling this project on York Street in Picton to ensure nearly 400 residential and commercial properties continue to have reliable sanitary sewer service. This project is a high priority because of the deteriorating condition of a large trunk sanitary sewer that runs underneath York Street.
The project involves replacing the existing sanitary sewer and watermain, installing a new asphalt roadway and sidewalk, and adding a curb and storm sewer to accommodate the curb.
County Council awarded the tender in the amount of $855,941 plus HST for the project on September 23 to Cobourg Development Services Ltd. Council approved the project in the 2024 capital budget.
