- The closure will take place on the trail between Belleville Street and Clemson Street. Click here to view a map of the closed area.
- The work on this section of the trail is expected to take approximately one week.
- The closure is necessary so that crews can perform tree stump removal along the trail.
- This work is related to the Wellington water and sewer trunk construction project.
Project background
A new trunk watermain is required to meet the water distribution and storage needs of the existing residents and future development within the Wellington urban serviced area. The new sewer trunks will accommodate the anticipated increase in wastewater flows from new developments.
The new trunks will be constructed from the location of the existing water and wastewater treatments plants to the east along Wellington Main Street, north on Cleminson Street, east along the Millennium Trail and then connect to the new water tower on Belleville Street.
A watermain upgrade will be completed starting at Prince Edward Drive and Elmdale Street, going south to Wellington Main Street, and west along Wellington Main Street to the treatment plant.
The project also includes a new sanitary pumping station located on the Millennium Trail near the intersection with West Street. This pumping station is a component of the new trunk sanitary sewer.
The municipality expects to complete the project by the end of 2025.
