Construction Start: Spring 2026

Description: This project involves a full reconstruction of Exhibition Drive from Kensington Road to Riverside Drive. This includes upgrades to underground water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater infrastructure, as well as new pavement, curbs, landscaping, and a multi-use pathway on the North side of the street. This project will replace outdated underground infrastructure, improve the management of stormwater, improve safety by clearly defining property access points, and create a safe connection to existing active transportation networks on Riverside Drive and Kensington Road.

Construction Impacts: During construction, Exhibition Drive will operate as a one-way street with traffic flowing eastbound, from Kensington Road to Riverside Drive. Please note that businesses located on Exhibition Drive will remain open during construction, and construction will be paused throughout the duration of Old Home Week.
