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.
