About the York Road improvements project

The City of Guelph is completing water and sewer pipe replacement work on York Road between Stevenson Street and Victoria Road. The curbs, gutters, and sidewalks will also be replaced as part of this project. The road will remain a two-lane road with the addition of bike lanes on the north and south sides of the roads.

To accommodate the underground water and sewer pipes replacement, York Road will be closed from Stevenson Street to Victoria Road South in both directions with limited local access starting in the spring of 2023.

    Hi! Thank you for providing so much information about the York Road Phase 3 construction. I reviewed all documents available. I was curious not to see any information about the traffic detour plan during Stage 1 of the project. While only a small segment of York Road is blocked, I expect many drivers to attempt to drive around it by entering Armstrong and continuing onto Balsarroch, Dodds, Bell and Brockville. How will this be discouraged/mitigated? I'm assuming that there will be signage clarifying that there is no exit through those streets. I would also appreciate if you could consider adding a temporary speed cushion on Armstrong around the intersection with Balsarroch. Thank you!

    The contractor is required to propose a traffic control plan as part of the project. The contractor has submitted a proposed traffic control plan and it is currently being reviewed by City staff. The City will post the approved traffic control plan on this webpage and the City webpage when it is approved.

    The City has specified that all side streets on the south side of York Road (Armstrong, Hayes, Kingsmill, Menzie, Audrey, Lawrence) will have signage indicating "No Truck traffic permitted, no exit or turn around" to discourage traffic passage through that area during Stage 1 of construction. Dodds and Brockville will be within the closure zone and will not require signage. Refer to traffic staging plan for a map of illustrations of stage 1 and stage 2.

    During Stage 2 construction Armstrong , Balsarroch, Bell and Brockville will experience a higher volume of traffic as residents from Hayes, Kingsmill, Menzie, Audrey and Lawrence will be required to access their homes via the temporary road from Brockville to Hayes and then Florence lane.

    The City recognizes this situation is not ideal however options are limited given the existing geometry of the roads. The City appreciates the ongoing patience of residents in the area while we complete this project.

    The City will review and consider the addition of a temporary speed cushion on Armstrong around the intersection with Balsarroch.
