  • The Township initiated this project in 2025, upgrading this section of road from a rural cross section to an urban cross section including curb and gutter, sidewalk and storm sewer.  
  • The sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer are being upsized to accommodate future growth.  All underground work was completed in 2025.
  • The road will be closed from April 13 to the end of June, 2026 to complete the surface restoration works assoicated with the project.  This includes
    • final paving
    • sidewalks
    • curbs
    • landscaping

  • The Township has planned the reconstruction of Colborne Street in Fergus from Beatty Line to approximately 95 metres west of Frederick Campbell Street and 120 metres west of the western limit of the Storybrook Subdivision.
  • The project involves realigning a portion of Colborne Street through the internal section of Phase 3A of the Storybrook Subdivision. The reconstruction will convert the existing rural road cross-section to an urban cross-section, including:
    • concrete sidewalks
    • curb and gutter
    • storm sewer infrastructure
    • watermain installation
  • The project will also include the construction of a multi-use path, installation of street trees, and new street lighting throughout the project area.
  • During construction, Colborne Street within the project limits will be closed to through traffic. Local access to properties will generally be maintained; however, short-term restrictions may occur periodically as construction progresses. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
  • Construction will begin April 6, 2026 and will be completed by the end of October 2026.

  • The Township of Centre Wellington has six existing works facilities that were integrated into the Township of Centre Wellington through amalgamation. Some of these older facilities are 50 to 60 years old, are at or above capacity, are in deteriorating condition and are reaching the end of their service life.
  • To address the issues, the Centre Wellington Council Strategic Plan 2019-2022 provided a strategic direction and initiative to open a new operations facility. To further that initiative, a space needs assessment and concept design study was completed. The study identified space requirements for the 20-year timeframe to accommodate Township staff, vehicles, equipment and material requirements for multiple departments including for growth to 2041.
  • The recommended option from this study is to build a new multi-departmental Operations Centre in two phases on a 20 acre centrally located site.
  • A site selection process led to the purchase of a 20-acre site located at 965 Gartshore Street in Fergus for the future Operations Centre.
  • The required technical site studies and the re-zoning of the property were completed in 2023.
  • An RFP was issued in March 2024 and closed in May 2024 and concluded in April 2025, leading into the tendering phase. Construction tendering was completed by Ball Construction Ltd., which involved a competitive bidding process. The Guaranteed Maximum Price for the construction of the project, prepared by Ball Construction Ltd., is $25.7 million.
  • A groundbreaking ceremony took place on June 16, 2025 marking the start of construction. Substantial completion is expected by Fall of 2026.

  • Construction will restart in the spring 2026.
