Grand River Street North Upgrades

Major upgrades on Grand River Street North in Paris are kicking off soon, backed by over $9 million in provincial funding to save local taxpayers money. 

What's Happening and Where

• Work begins on Ann Wilson Way before moving to the main stretch between Watts Pond Road and Silver Street (work will not begin on Grand River St N until this phase of the Downtown Dig is complete – which is expected in a couple of weeks!).
• Two-way traffic stays open on Grand River Street North while crews work.
• Area shops, restaurants and services remain completely open for business. 

Why Now?

• Over $9 million in provincial grants covers the cost without heavy taxpayer burden.
• The province requires project completion by the end of 2028.
• Designed to support north Paris for the next 30 years, including a new public elementary school and fire hall.
