The Town of South Bruce Peninsula says the Berford Street Phase 2 reconstruction project has progressed well this fall.
They say “The contractor has worked diligently to move the project forward at a record pace,” adding the weather has been great to help them along.
Some curbs were poured this week, and asphalt is going down soon.
However, due to some required utility relocates that will need to occur in 2027, the Town has made the decision to delay the installation of concrete sidewalks between George Street and Frank Street.
For now they’ll install some temporary asphalt walkways that will get snow removal in order to get pedestrians through the winter until the permanent concrete sidewalks can be installed in the spring.
They say, “As depicted in the attached photo, the temporary asphalt walkways will be installed down the east side of Berford Street and a small section on the west side of Berford in the vicinity of the St. John’s United Church. The remainder of the west side of Berford Street will not have the temporary walkway installed and instead will be signed as “seasonally closed” for the winter.”
