Notice date: November 12, 2026
What’s happening:
Starting on or about November 16, Wyndham Street North from Carden Street to Farquhar Street will be closed to facilitate final work on the sewers in advance of the winter season. This closure is expected to last for approximately two to three weeks, weather permitting.
This work is part of the Wyndham Street full closure.
For weekly updates for this project, visit Diggable Downlow.
Why:
This work is part of the Downtown Infrastructure Renewal Program, which is a multi-phased project that will span the next decade within Downtown Guelph.
Phase 1 of this work (Wyndham Street) will replace aging sewers and watermains (some over a century old) to ensure safe and reliable service for generations to come. As we restore the area, we’re also taking the opportunity to upgrade roads, sidewalks and cycling facilities. In addition, we’re modernizing the streetscape in Downtown Guelph. While streetscape improvements are a valuable secondary benefit, the heart of this project is about renewing essential infrastructure to support a resilient and thriving Downtown.
When:
Work is expected to start on November 16 until late November or early December, weather permitting.
Changes during construction:
Traffic lanes: Wyndham Street will be closed from Carden Street to Farquhar Street, under the Metrolinx Bridge. Access to Guelph Central Station will be maintained via Carden Street.
