CAD 16.19 Million Main Street Renewal Project in Stouffville, Canada Enters First Phase of Construction

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 2, the downtown renewal project in Stouffville, Ontario, Canada entered the construction window for its first phase. The project is being built by Rabcon Contractors Limited under a contract valued at CAD 16.186 million. The first phase is scheduled to run until December 23, focusing on the extension of storm sewers and road restoration on Main Street. The entire downtown renewal project is expected to be completed in December 2028.

The first phase covers the section from the intersection of Main Street and Park Drive to approximately 100 meters east of it, mainly including the extension of storm drainage pipes and the restoration of road structure and pavement. The construction notice issued by the town government on October 22 specified the scope and schedule of the work and confirmed that the construction contract had been awarded.

The overall project scope includes the renewal of storm sewers, sanitary sewers, and water mains under Main Street, as well as road reconstruction, streetscape improvements, and pedestrian facility upgrades. Detailed design was completed in July 2026, tender documents were issued to prequalified contractors at the end of August, and contractor selection was subsequently completed.

During the first phase, temporary lane restrictions will be implemented in stages along the affected section, and short traffic delays may occur. The town government has arranged for construction equipment to be removed from the area during the Santa Claus Parade on December 5. Prior to construction, OZA Inspections Ltd. was commissioned to conduct pre-construction condition surveys of adjacent properties and to notify affected residents and businesses directly.

Engineering design is being handled by Accardi Engineering Group. The project also involves modifications to traffic signals and pedestrian crossings at the Edward Street intersection, adjustments to the railway level crossing, sidewalk widening, and the construction of stormwater management facilities. Local media reported on October 29 that the final design retains 76 on-street parking spaces, a reduction of 6 from the current 82.
