Notice of Pre-Construction Meeting and Work: Adelaide Street Reconstruction (Lambert - Huron)

Construction Details

Beginning mid-March, the Contractor will mobilize to start the Adelaide Street Reconstruction Project. The project will consist of the following works:

Adelaide Street (Lambert – Huron)

• The replacement of the gravity sanitary sewer & watermain
• The installation of storm drainage/ infiltration systems
• The replacement of road base & asphalt

Schedule and Work Hours

Construction is expected to take approximately four months, weather permitting. Work will generally occur Monday to Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. There will be no construction on weekends, outside daylight hours, or during statutory holidays. The Contractor will maintain and update a detailed construction schedule, highlighting major project milestones and any schedule changes. 

Project Updates

Updates will be posted regularly on the Town’s Adelaide Street project page at www.engage.saugeenshores.ca/cottage-streets/Adelaide. 

Traffic, Pedestrian Access & Parking

During the construction project, local traffic flow will be maintained throughout the construction project, where possible. 

• Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times. Certain areas may be enclosed using modular safety fencing or barrels to ensure public safety while allowing safe passage.
• Emergency vehicle access for police, fire, and medical response will be maintained at all times.

Waste Collection

If construction disrupts regular garbage or recycling pickup, the Contractor will transport bins to the ends of the construction zone for collection.
To assist in returning bins to the correct properties:

• Please ensure bins are clearly labeled with your address.
• Have them placed outside by 7:00 a.m. on collection days.

The Contractor will also coordinate access for private waste collection services, where applicable.

Mail and Deliveries

The Contractor will work directly with affected properties to ensure uninterrupted access for mail and package deliveries throughout the project.

Temporary Water Services

This project requires the use of temporary water services on Adelaide Street. The water services will be connected above ground and may require crossings of driveways. The Contractor will do their best to install these so that there is minimal impact but there may be temporary mounding within driveways to protect the watermain.

Encroachments

If you have any encroachments on Municipal property such as sprinkler heads, lights, planters, rocks, flower beds, etc. please remove them or have them clearly marked and best efforts will be made to avoid them. However, the Town will not be held responsible for damage to these and other items that may be on municipal property and close to the contractor’s work zone.

Special Event or Circumstance

If you have a special event planned at your property or require special needs on a given day, please advise the Town office well in advance and every attempt will be made to schedule the work to prevent or reduce interference with your planned activities.
