Residents and visitors are advised that Hiram Street between Chub Downey Lane and 108 Hiram Street will be closed Monday, May 15, 2023 and Tuesday, May 16, 2023 as part of the sanitary sewer and watermain infrastructure reconstruction on Chub Downey Lane.
The Town of Bracebridge has partnered with the District Municipality of Muskoka (District) for the reconstruction of Chub Downey Lane from Hiram Street to James Street. The project commenced April 26, 2023 and is expected to be substantially completed by late June 2023.
Fowler Construction Company Limited, under contract with the District, is completing the project. District staff are administering the contract and providing site inspection services during construction.
The reconstruction project entails the replacement of the sanitary sewer and watermain infrastructure, and reconstruction of the road from Hiram Street to James Street. Temporary water services will be installed by the Contractor prior to the start of the major construction. Residents will receive notification from the District of any water and sewer service interruptions.
Chub Downey Lane and Chub Downey Parking Lot, both located on the south side of the Bracebridge Memorial Arena, remain closed to pedestrian and vehicular traffic throughout the construction.
The Town is committed to maintaining a safe and orderly work site. While dust, noise, heavy equipment and traffic delays are intrusive, they are common elements of construction. The Town will attempt to minimize inconvenience and appreciates the public’s patience while it works to upgrading the infrastructure.
