George Street West and East Road Reconstruction and Watermain Replacement
More
The Municipality of Clarington is planning to reconstruct George Street West, from North Street to Manvers Road, and George Street East, from Mill Street North to Beaver Street North, in spring 2025 (pending Council approval).
The current condition of these roads has deteriorated due to age and insufficient drainage, leading to issues like cracking, heaving, potholes and road surface breakage. These issues pose a safety risk for motorists and pedestrians, particularly during inclement weather.
To address these challenges, the Region of Durham will partner with the Municipality to replace the aging watermain infrastructure within the project limits, which has reached the end of its service life. This will also involve upgrading the watermain service connections up to the edge of the road right-of-way (property line).
The proposed work will include:
- Implementing an urban road design featuring curb and gutter systems to collect and direct roadway and boulevard drainage into a roadside gutter.
- The installation of storm sewers and catch basins to manage drainage downstream.
- Providing curb depressions for residential driveways so that driveway access is unimpeded.
- Replacing sidewalks on George Street West and constructing a new sidewalk on the north side of George Street East.
The proposed design will avoid potential impacts to private properties as much as possible, however, local driveway aprons, front yards and some vegetation may be affected. The Municipality will work with homeowners to assess and replace lost trees and vegetation to match their existing conditions as required.
