The County of Prince Edward is rehabilitating Bloomfield Main Street from Corey Street to Wellington Street.
The municipality is providing the following project updates from the past week:
- Significant rainfall over the past week complicated maintenance of gravel road cuts. The contractor monitored the cuts daily. Maintenance took place throughout the week, often multiple times each day. Staff and the contractor will closely monitor the condition of the gravel road cuts and continue to undertake repairs if required.
- The section of storm sewer located at Wellington Street has been replaced and a portion of the section at Stanley Street.
- Most sidewalk panels marked for replacement have been left in place for now to limit disruption.
The project remains on schedule with work slated to be completed by mid-June 2026.
The following work is scheduled to take place from April 20 – 24:
- Work to replace the last section of the storm sewer near the corner of Stanley Street and Bloomfield Main Street is expected to be finished on Monday, April 20. Because the work is taking place within the intersection, Bloomfield Main Street will be reduced to one-lane between Wights Street and approximately 200 m east of Stanley Street. Traffic on Bloomfield Main Street and Stanley Street will be controlled by flaggers or temporary signals.
- Portions of curb and sidewalk scheduled for replacement will be removed.
County Transit update
Effective through Monday, April 20, northbound County Transit riders will NOT board the bus at the regular stop.
Riders are advised to wait slightly east of Corey Street, directly across from the glass shelter. Buses will pick up riders at that location, then travel north on Corey Street toward Belleville.
The glass shelter remains the southbound stop.
Additional information
Throughout the week, single-lane closures in the active work zone will continue. All businesses along Bloomfield Main Street remain open.
Driveways may be temporarily blocked during work. The contractor will provide advance notification to residents and businesses directly impacted by temporary driveway blockages.
The municipality will provide weekly updates every Friday throughout the project. Visit the County website and sign up to receive these updates in your inbox.
The municipality is resurfacing Bloomfield Main Street from Corey Street to Wellington Street in 2026. The project will also include line painting, storm sewer repairs, and concrete curb and sidewalk repairs. Learn more about the project.
