The City of Brantford in Ontario is resuming work on its downtown revitalization project in late March 2026 following a winter pause. This stage of the construction is expected to be finished by late August 2026 and includes improvements to Brant Avenue, Dalhousie Street, and Colborne Street.
The intersection of Icomm Drive and Market Street South closed on March 4, 2026, and is expected to reopen by the end of April. Crews are currently replacing water and sewer pipes that are nearly a century old to make the systems more reliable for the community.
Local businesses and the Brantford Farmers’ Market will remain open while work continues. While the main entrance to the Market Centre Parkade is closed until March 31, 2026, people can still find parking by using the entrances on Hill Street or Wharfe Street.
This part of the Downtown Revitalization Project is funded in part by the Government of Canada with a 2026 budget of $26 million. The final upgrades will include new street furniture, better signs, bike lanes, and up to 25 additional on-street parking spaces to make the area easier to navigate.
