Road closure: Wellington Street East at Wyndham Street South
Notice date: May 13, 2025
About the project
The Wyndham-Wellington Water and Wastewater Capacity Improvement project is a simple project that will lead to big results. This project will allow the City to alleviate capacity restrictions in our overburdened infrastructure and open development opportunities within Downtown Guelph, south of the Metrolinx railway corridor.
The project is split into two stages, beginning with the first stage of work on Wellington Street from Gordon Street to Wyndham Street South, anticipated to take place from April to July. The second stage of work will take place on Wyndham Street South, from the Speed River to Farquhar Street, anticipated to take place from July to September.

Wellington Street East closed at Wyndham Street South. The weekend work begins on Saturday, May 24 at 7 a.m. The closure will last approximately 2 days with the road scheduled to be reopened on Monday, May 26 at 7 a.m., weather permitting. North and southbound traffic will be maintained on Wyndham Street South. Delays should be expected. Please follow posted signs for safety and detour information.
