Wellington Road 109, Structure Replacements


Anticipated Project Timing: May 5, 2025 through to 2028

Type of Work:
Structure Replacements

Description of Work:
The County of Wellington has hired a contractor to complete capital construction works on Wellington Road 109, east of Highway 6 in the Township of Wellington North. This long-term infrastructure project includes the replacement of four structures and road resurfacing between them, with construction expected to continue through 2028. The project will commence with work on Bridge 10 and Culvert 5. Once these are underway, work will follow on Bridge 4 and Bridge 6.

Traffic Impact:
• Wellington Road 109 will remain open throughout the construction period.
• One lane of traffic will be maintained at all times.
• Lane width will be restricted to 3.5m (11 feet) and oversized equipment will need to use an alternate route. There is no load/weight restriction through the project limits.
• Traffic delays are anticipated, and we encourage the travelling public to consider using the suggested alternate route (see attached map) to avoid congestion and improve travel time.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve this important section of road infrastructure.
