Update on Fenelon Falls Downtown Reconstruction

Downtown Fenelon Falls is currently undergoing a full reconstruction project to replace critical infrastructure such as water main, storm sewer and sanitary sewer. At the same time, the municipality is taking this opportunity to update and enhance the streetscape, including new sidewalks, curbs, gutters and furnishings.

Coco Paving, the construction company completing the project, brought forward a proposal to bring in a second crew to help speed up construction timelines. The project scope, which originally divided the full road reconstruction into two phases, will be moving forward with a faster schedule. Crews will be completing all underground infrastructure replacement by June 18, 2021, including the concrete curb, sidewalk and base asphalt installations as well. 

“We believe this will be a benefit to the community as the new schedule will allow us to open the road to traffic sooner, and in this case, right before the peak summer season,” commented Juan Rojas, Engineering Director for Kawartha Lakes. “We’re looking forward to offering this popular tourist community a refreshed and more accessible upgraded downtown.”

The remainder of the reconstruction project will still be split into two phases, pausing in June and picking back up again after Labour Day Weekend.
