Road Construction

Good news, Paris! The multi-year infrastructure project continues to move right along as we wrap up major underground work.

Paving in the Paris East Flats will take place beginning the week of November 16, 2026, weather dependent. This project is expected to take approximately five (5) business days to complete.

Work will begin on Grand River Street North/Pinehurst Road at the Watts Pond Road intersection starting tomorrow, Friday, November 6, 2026. 

Work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, November 3 on Pottruff Road in Paris.

Pottruff Road will remain open to traffic throughout the project. Temporary lane restrictions may be required, but access to residential and commercial properties will be maintained.

Beginning early next week (anticipated start date November 2 or 3) to approximately late November/December 2026, the eastbound lane on Governors Road East will be closed from the Dundas Street East intersection to approximately 100m east to complete the installation of the sanitary main on Governors Road East.

The final portion of paving is complete from Mechanic Street to the Nith River Bridge and Grand River Street North is now OPEN!

Bethel Road will be closed to facilitate industrial development at 125 Bethel Road. The Developer will be extending watermain and sanitary sewer to the site

On October 27, 2026 to approximately late November, the eastbound lane on Governors Road East will be closed from the Dundas Street East intersection to approximately 100m east. Governors Road East will be reduced to one lane. Westbound traffic ONLY. All eastbound traffic will be detoured down Paris Road.
