Central Huron is pleased to share that Isaac Street in Clinton is scheduled for a complete reconstruction this summer. This project is scheduled to begin in late May, and will require four to six months to complete.
For up to date information, please visit the Central Huron Business Improvement Association dedicated web page.
Commencement of the Isaac St. Construction Project
Council passed the 2023 Capital budget which includes the full reconstruction of Isaac Street. This project has been in the Capital Plan for some time and the Municipality is looking forward to finally implementing this infrastructure improvement. The current conditions are very poor and this project will provide much needed improvements to Isaac Street, adding to the downtown aesthetic and providing better servicing to the rate payers in that area.
It should be noted that the Municipality received $254,777 in government funding for the watermain replacement through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP).
Scope of Work
- Enbridge: replacement of gas lines and in the downtown area, installing new gas meters/regulators.
- Replacement of water, sewer & storm mains.
- Replacement of the water/sewer servicing and adding storm servicing into the buildings on the block between Huron & Mary streets. Replacing water/sewer servicing and adding storm servicing to property line between Mary & Dunlop streets.
- Improved accessibility for sidewalks and building entrances.
- Complete replacement of sidewalk, curb, gutter & asphalt
- Decorative sidewalk & street light poles will be added in the downtown portion of Isaac Street, cohesive with the design of Albert Street.
- Full road construction with new asphalt
