📣 ANNUAL ASPHALT PAVING UPGRADES
Beginning August 31, 2026

Region of Queens Municipality will be undertaking its annual asphalt paving upgrades in Liverpool beginning Monday, August 31, 2026, and is expected to be completed in mid-September.

The work is part of the Municipality’s ongoing commitment to maintaining and improving the local road network and will include the rehabilitation and resurfacing of selected streets.

PAVING LOCATIONS
This year’s paving work will take place on the following streets:

• Trunk 3 – Old Port Mouton Rd to Summer St

• Common St – King St to Wolfe St

• Waterloo St – Ellenwood St to Crowell St

• Waterloo St – Near Old Bridge St

• Parker St – Payzant St to Union St

• Birch Ave – Wolfe St to Civic 28

• MacLeod St – Lower Portion near Henry Hensey Dr

• Main St – Near Legion St

• Main St – Near Gorham St

Work locations may be adjusted based on weather, site conditions, and construction requirements.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Work will generally involve preparation, including the replacement of valves and manholes, milling of keyways/removal of existing asphalt, followed by the placement of new asphalt. Depending on the condition of the roadway, localized repairs may also be completed before paving.

Residents and motorists should expect:

• Temporary traffic control and possible delays;

• Temporary uneven surfaces, dips, or raised pavement edges following milling;

• Construction equipment, noise, and dust;

• Temporary roadway marking; and

• Temporary restrictions to parking or access while work is underway.

Motorists are asked to slow down, use caution, and follow all traffic control measures when travelling through active work areas.

WORK SCHEDULE
Work is weather dependent, and individual sections of roadway may take anywhere from several hours to several days to complete. Work hours will generally be 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday, although extended hours may be required.

Every effort will be made to minimize impacts to residents, businesses, and motorists while completing this important infrastructure work.

QUESTIONS OR SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Residents or businesses with special access requirements or other concerns related to the paving work are encouraged to contact the Region of Queens Municipality in advance so that reasonable efforts can be made to accommodate their needs.
