NW Area 1 Sanitary Servicing (Sunset Drive)

The City of St. Thomas plans to install new sanitary sewers, forcemains, sewage pumping stations, and watermains along Wellington Road and Sunset Drive.  This is being undertaken to support new residential development growth as outlined in the Positioned for Growth Study.

During construction, the one portion of Sunset Drive will be closed to through traffic but will remain open to local traffic.  All other construction work done along the project limits will be completed with traffic shifts where the road will remain open for the public.  The V.A. Barrie Park will be open during construction along Sunset Drive.

Access to local business within the project limits will be maintained throughout the duration of the project.
