Construction of the sanitary gravity sewer along Main Street in Erin Village is ongoing with microtunneling work completed and restoration works remaining. The construction work extends along Main Street between the Elora-Cataract Trail and Dianne Road, and along Water Street from Main Street to Hillview Avenue. The sewer installation utilized microtunneling, a trenchless pipe installation method. As part of this process, microtunneling shafts were installed at specific locations along Main Street, as indicated on the map below.

To ensure the safety of workers, road users, and residents, concrete barriers have been installed in place around each shaft location. Two-way traffic flow will be maintained on Main Street for the duration of construction, and road jogs have been implemented as necessary to accommodate the shaft construction. Local businesses will be open during construction.

To facilitate microtunneling shaft installation on Water Street, road closures are in place as identified in the map below.

Detour signage for the Dundas Street E. road closure detour route, as identified on the map, is currently in place.

Throughout the construction period, access to properties on the affected local roads will be available via Daniel Street and Hillview Avenue. All vehicular traffic must adhere to the posted speed limits on local roads. Access to local homes, businesses, and emergency services will be maintained at all times.

Work will take place from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. Work after hours or on weekends may be required during the course of construction.

Increased truck traffic, dirt on roads, dust and noise may be experienced due to the construction activities. The Town, along with the Contactor, will make every effort to minimize these impacts to the community.

The Town will not be responsible for damage to any privately owned items on Town or County property.
