The Township of Woolwich will be contracting J. Weber Contracting Limited for the reconstruction of Union Street between Oriole Parkway East and Erb Street in Elmira. The scope of work is to include the complete replacement of the watermain, sanitary and storm sewers, and includes the new installation of sidewalk (both sides of the road), curb, road base and pavement. The Township will also be realigning the Weigel Drain, which crosses Union Street just south of Park Street. Structure Pre-Condition Survey As a requirement of the contract, J. Weber Contracting Limited has retained OZA Inspections Ltd., a qualified independent firm, to inspect and document the existing condition of all buildings and structures within the construction limits. These necessary inspections are completed prior to the start of construction and are meant to protect the Property Owner, the Township, and the Contractor should any damage, however unlikely, occur during construction. Schedule for Reconstruction Generally, Union Street between Oriole Parkway East and Erb Street will be closed to through traffic at the start of May 2021 for the duration of construction, which is expected to last approximately seven months. The contractor is responsible to maintain access to abutting roads east of Union Street (Erb Street, First Street East, Howard Avenue, Bonnie Crescent, and Oriole Parkway East). Union Street Reconstruction Map Since the contractor will not be always working on all blocks of the road, it is expected that access to driveways for local residents and businesses will be maintained as much as possible. There will, though, be times when trenching, grading or curb work will be underway in the vicinity of your house/business and you will not be able to park in front or get in your driveway. The contractor will endeavour to make these areas useable and keep any disruptions short.
