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.
