The Town's Public Works Department plans and directs construction projects for municipal roads, sidewalks, bridges and related infrastructure.  

Current Construction Projects

The Town has the following construction projects currently in progress:

Berford Street "Big Dig" Reconstruction

The Town received Connecting Link funding for the design and reconstruction of Berford Street (Highway 6) in Wiarton. We will reconstruct Berford Street from Elm Street to Division Street, including the downtown core. The design will include replacing underground water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer infrastructure, as well as replacing the road surface, sidewalks, street lighting and traffic signal systems. 

The project startup notice describes some of the work and provides contact information for the engineers designing the project. 

The project design roadmap explains the design steps leading up to construction and the map of the project limits displays the portions of Berford Street that are included in the project scope.

The design engineers presented a project update to the Wiarton BIA in November 2019. 

The first Public Information Session was hosted on December 18, 2019 at the Wiarton Arena.

The second Public Information Session was hosted on January 23, 2020 at the Wiarton Arena.

Elm Street Reconstruction

The Town, in collaboration with the Township of Georgian Bluffs, will be reconstructing Elm Street in Wiarton between Berford Street (Highway 6) and Thompson's Sideroad.  The work involves complete road reconstruction, as well as the installation of sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and watermain.  Work will begin in early May 2023 and extend into 2024.  

The first notice to residents was hand-delivered to properties in the affected area and includes contact information if residents have any questions about the project.

The second notice to residents is being hand-delivered to properties in the affected area in July 2024.

Gould Street and Pengally Avenue Reconstruction

In 2019, the Town of South Bruce Peninsula retained R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited to provide detailed design engineering, project management, and construction administration services for the future replacement of watermain, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and the required road reconstruction of several roads in the Wiarton settlement area.

Funds have been allocated in the 2024 and 2025 capital budgets for the detailed design, tendering, and construction of Gould Street (Elm Street to Division Street) and Pengally Avenue.

In collaboration with R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited, the Town is nearing the completion of the tender preparation process, with construction anticipated to take place between spring 2025 and late fall 2025. The final layer of asphalt is expected to be completed in 2026.

You may view additional details, including the Detailed Design Drawings, or submit questions through the Town's Open Mic Page.

Mallory Beach Road - Design and Reconstruction

The Town has retained the services of a consulting engineering firm to provide a preliminary detailed road design and cost estimates associated with the full road reconstruction of approximately 4.0 kilometres of Mallory Beach Road from Bruce Road 9 to Kathleen Avenue.

The project startup notice describes some of the work and provides contact information for the engineers designing the project. 

In October 2021, the engineers presented Council with a preliminary design and a breakdown of the aspects of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.

The engineers have issued a follow up notice of study commencement in February 2022.

The engineers presented their findings of the Preliminary Design for the Reconstruction of Mallory Beach Road to Council in June 2023, and staff followed up with a report to Council in October 2023, itemizing some of the challenges to design and making the priority of reconstruction to improve safety and drainage.

As part of the 2024 Capital Budget, Council has approved funding towards continuing with detailed design in 2024, for construction of Mallory Beach Road from Bruce Road 9 to Kathleen Avenue anticipated to occur in 2025.

Mary Street Reconstruction

The Town will be reconstructing Mary Street in Wiarton between Claude Street and Isaac Street.  The work involves the installation/replacement of sanitary sewers, storm sewers, watermain, sidewalk with tactile plates, boulevard restoration and hot mix paving.  Work will begin in early May 2022 and extend into September 2022, with final project completion in Spring 2023.  

The notice to residents was hand-delivered to properties in the affected area in early April and includes contact information if residents have any questions about the project.

Future Road and Infrastructure Design for Wiarton Streets

The Town is currently conducting field work and construction design of some streets in Wiarton.  The design will likely include replacing underground water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer infrastructure, as well as replacing the road surface, sidewalks, and possibly street lighting. 

The project startup notice describes some of the work and provides contact information for the engineers designing the project.

Water Service Master Plan within and adjacent to the Sauble Beach Settlement Area

The Town of South Bruce Peninsula (Town) is undertaking a Water Service Master Plan for the area within and adjacent to the Sauble Beach Settlement Area in the former Township of Amabel. The Study will consider solutions that provide servicing capacity for potential development and lower per capita cost for users of the existing systems.
