Additional information
The 1.0 km stretch of Bloomfield Main Street between Corey Street and Wellington Street is considered a “connecting link” between two provincial highways. The Province of Ontario is covering 90 per cent of the cost to resurface this section of road under the Connecting Links program.
Bloomfield Main Street is beginning to deteriorate with significant cracking, especially down the centre line of the road. Resurfacing will extend the life of the road, providing a smooth, safe surface for all traffic.
