Millard Avenue, Church Street, and Elm Street Reconstruction

The Town of Newmarket is reconstructing Millard Avenue, Church Street and Elm Street. The scope of work includes the following:

• Structural watermain lining, which will result in the need for a temporary watermain;
• New watermain installation by open cut on Elm Street;
• New catch basin installations;
• Sidewalk modifications on Millard Avenue;
• Full-depth road reconstruction;
• Installation of new sanitary sewers, including new sanitary services to the lot line.

This project will be divided into two (2) phases for construction. Both phases are included in one contract, awarded to Direct Underground. Please see the map below for more details.

Tentative timelines have been modified due to recent watermain breaks on Millard Avenue.

The watermain works have been prioritized to ensure completion this year. The work planned to be completed this year includes:

• Installation of watermain, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer on Elm Street;
• Road reconstruction of Elm Street from Park Avenue to Millard Avenue;
• Set up of temporary watermain and watermain lining throughout Millard Avenue and Church Street.
• Tree removals.

Direct Underground will demobilize from the site for the winter and return in the spring of 2025 to complete the remaining works which will include:

• Sanitary sewer installation on Millard Avenue from Lorne Avenue to Main Street and Church Street from Millard Avenue to Park Avenue.
• Replacement of catch basins.
• Road reconstruction including sidewalk on Millard Avenue from Lorne Avenue to Main Street and Church Street from Millard Avenue to Park Avenue.

Elm Street will be closed during construction this year with access provided to residents living on Elm Street only. Notice will be provided prior to any driveway access disruptions.

We appreciate your patience as we make improvements to your street.
