Duckworth Street reconstruction
This is the first of two phases in the reconstruction of Duckworth. The $2.7m tender on the first phase runs from St. Vincent Street to Melrose Avenue. Work was initially scheduled to begin this year, but the project was advanced due to poor road condition.
A new water main and sanitary and storm sewers, sidewalks and curbs are included in the work.
