The City of Guelph, Ontario, is beginning overnight road work in the downtown area on March 16, 2026. This work is meant to prepare the area for the Wyndham Street Reconstruction Project, which involves significant updates to local streets and underground utility pipes.
Crews will be checking and maintaining watermains as a first step before major construction begins. Drivers should expect some lane restrictions tonight so that workers can complete the job safely without major traffic disruptions.
Earlier this month, the city hired Steed and Evans Ltd. to handle the first phase of the project. This part of the plan costs $24 million and will replace aging underground pipes while also adding new cycle tracks and improved sidewalks to the area.
While tonight’s work is minor and should not cause many delays, larger road reconstruction is set to officially begin on March 30, 2026. This project is the first visible sign of a multi-year plan to modernize the infrastructure in the downtown core.
