(Issued May 3, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. EST) – The Town of Cobourg’s Public Works Division would like to inform residents of upcoming essential construction projects that will begin during the month of May 2021.
Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program begins May 3, 2021
The rehabilitation of existing sanitary sewers within the area from Bayview Crescent to Parkwood Drive (east-west), and Lakeshore Road to just north of King Street East (south-north) will commence on Monday, May 3, 2021 and will take approximately three (3) months to complete. This is an annual program that the Town of Cobourg has initiated to make repairs and to reduce the amount of ground water that enters into the sanitary sewer collection system. The benefit is the reduction of wastewater flow that has to be treated at the Town’s Water Pollution Control Plants. Please see map below for overall area where limited repairs will be completed under this program.
Abbott Boulevard Sidewalk Construction begins May 3, 2021
The construction of a concrete sidewalk on the east side of Abbott Boulevard, from Lakeshore Road to King Street East will commence on Monday, May 3, 2021 and will take approximately one (1) month. This project is being undertaken to expand the Town’s pedestrian network. During this period there may be minor lane disruptions and parking on the east side of Abbott Boulevard will be limited during construction, as the work progresses.
Albert Street Reconstruction begins May 10, 2021
The reconstruction of Albert Street, from Hibernia Street to Third Street, will commence on Monday, May 10, 2021 and will take approximately four (4) months. This project is being undertaken due to the poor condition of underground infrastructure and asphalt pavement. During this period, the road will be temporarily closed to through traffic; however, every effort will be made to ensure residents retain access to their properties.
To ensure our residents and workers remain safe, contractors will be outfitted with personal protective gear (PPE) and a site-specific plan that will be followed throughout the duration of each project.The Town of Cobourg thanks you for your patience and consideration during the above noted construction activities.
