Poyntz Street Reconstruction

The City is planning for the reconstruction of Poyntz St. The project is being prompted by the need to install a transmission watermain to service 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 is expected to be tendered in the spring of 2020 with construction commencing in summer 2020. To reduce traffic congestion in the area the construction will be phased over two years (see map image).
