The County of Prince Edward has contracted Drew Harrison Haulage Ltd. to rehabilitate Bloomfield Main Street between Corey Street and Wellington beginning this spring.
County Council awarded the tender during its meeting on Tuesday, March 10. The scope of work includes:
- Removal of existing asphalt surface
- Placement of 100mm of new hot mix asphalt
- Replacement of approximately 10 storm sewer sections
- Replacement of deteriorated curb sections
- Minor sidewalk panel replacements
- Replacement of west boulevard with new asphalt
- Replacement of east boulevard with stamped concrete (provisional)
- Line painting
Working on this project will take place from April to June. Staff recommended this approach as it represents the shortest overall schedule of three options, allowing the municipality to maximize the available budget. Also, this schedule gives the municipality the best chance of finishing the project on-time and according to plan.
The municipality is making it a priority to deliver the project as planned with the minimal number of delays or changes so that business owners and the public can plan accordingly.
The municipality will share more details about the construction schedule and the staging plans for the Bloomfield Main Street rehabilitation project at the second public information centre (PIC) on Monday, March 23. The in-person PIC will take place from 6 – 8 pm at the Bloomfield Town Hall (289 Bloomfield Main Street). Staff will provide a presentation starting at 6:30 pm.
Following the in-person PIC, a virtual event will occur on Thursday, March 26 beginning at 6 pm. Please use this link to access the session.
The municipality secured $2,058,969 in 2025 through the Ministry of Transportation’s Connecting Links Program to support this project. This funding represents approximately 90% of total project costs. The other 10 per cent is funded from the municipality’s Roads Construction Reserve.
