Work on Segment 9 of the City’s Connecting Link is set to begin on Monday, June 15, 2026. GIP Interpaving Ltd. will start mobilizing traffic controls June 11 and 12 in preparation for construction.
This section of Algonquin Blvd. E. between Brunette Rd. and Hwy. 655 runs approximately 700 metres with full road reconstruction. Planned improvements include new asphalt, curbs, sidewalks, and traffic medians. Sections of watermain and storm sewer infrastructure will also be replaced, along with traffic signals at Brunette Rd. and Hwy. 655, and streetlights will be upgraded to meet current standards.
Construction will require lane reductions only, with traffic moved to the outside curb lanes for the first phase of work, one lane in each direction. Access to all businesses and properties will be maintained throughout the project. The City is working with Cochrane District Paramedic Service to ensure that emergency service operations, including ambulance access, are prioritized throughout construction.
Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and allow additional travel time. Expect minor delays and reduce speed through the active construction area. When merging, consider using both available lanes of traffic before reaching the defined merge area to avoid traffic backup and congestion.
This project is part of the City’s ongoing rehabilitation of the Connecting Link corridor. Segment 9 and Segment 13 are being completed in 2026 to improve road conditions, replace aging infrastructure, and reduce future road maintenance.
Stay informed about lane reductions and traffic impacts through Municipal 511. For more information on this year’s road construction projects, visit: https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/engineering/capital_works/2026_capital_works.

The City of Timmins' Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of scheduled Water Infrastructure Maintenance activity within the following area:
South Porcupine:
• Ruth St. between Highway 101 E and Division St.
Date and Time of Disruption:
• June 9, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Homeowners and businesses within the notification area may experience short-term loss in water or pressure and can experience brown or rust-coloured water during the disruption. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should this occur, it is advised to turn off your tap for 10-20 minutes in order to allow the crew to finish. Once the work is completed, turn on the COLD water tap closest to the source (usually your laundry tub tap) and let it run for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the water colour has returned to normal.
Environmental Service Department would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this emergency work.
