Poyntz Street Reconstruction
The City is commencing the reconstruction of Poyntz Street. The project is being prompted by the need to replace a transmission watermain that services the east end of Barrie. The existing infrastructure along the roadway is also nearing the end of its useful life and requires replacement.
The project has been awarded to North Rock Group Ltd. They plan to commence construction early April 2022 and complete much of the work by the fall of 2022. Some work, final paving, restorations, etc. will be completed in the spring of 2023.
Project Update
June 2022
The contractor is progressing well. Underground infrastructure is nearing completion on Berczy and Codrington. The roadworks will be commencing with curb, sidewalk, and asphalt placement. The underground crews will move down to Dunlop Street starting on June 20, 2022 and work their way up Poyntz.
