George Street Phase 2 Reconstruction 

The Town of Smiths Falls is committed to enhancing its infrastructure to support the efficient movement of residents and vehicles within the downtown core. George Street, located two blocks west of Beckwith Street, serves as a critical north-south corridor. Following the successful completion of Phase 1 in 2024, which revitalized 220 linear meters of roadway from Strathcona Street to William Street, the Town is pleased to announce the continuation of this vital project with Phase 2 scheduled for the 2025 construction season. Phase 2 will include 290 linear meters of roadway, extending three residential blocks from William Street West to Gladstone Avenue.

Phase 2 will build upon the improvements made in 2024, which included the replacement of watermains, sanitary sewers, and services to property lines, as well as the installation of new storm sewer infrastructure. The roadway was also upgraded with new concrete curbs and sidewalks on both sides, designed to meet Ontario’s accessibility standards. Phase 2 will continue these comprehensive upgrades, ensuring the long-term reliability and functionality of George Street’s municipal infrastructure within the Town’s road allowance.

The Town acknowledges that construction activities, including rock removal and excavation, may cause temporary inconveniences such as noise and restricted traffic flow. We sincerely appreciate the patience and understanding of residents and businesses as we work diligently to complete these essential infrastructure improvements as efficiently as possible.
