Municipal Infrastructure Projects

The work of the City's Corporate Asset Management, Development Services, and Infrastructure departments each impact various design and construction projects across Barrie. Corporate Facilities' planning and development staff oversee facility projects that support select City services.

Construction projects may require road closures.

Generally speaking, infrastructure projects are informed by a master plan or planning process, and project cycles may include environmental assessment studies, detailed design, then construction. Projects are ordered below as per the latest update.

Projects directly managed by the City or other levels of government are listed on this webpage as information is confirmed.
This list includes projects upcoming (within the next year), in progress, substantially complete, recently completed (within the past year), and archived. Substantially completed projects may require minor finishing work, top course paving, or are in a review period.
