West River Street Update: Construction to continue in Spring/Summer of 2025
County of Brant Capital Projects Manager Joe Murphy provided the following update on West River Street this past week in a County of Brant issued news blast via email and social media:
We would like to provide the following update on construction taking place on West River Street in Paris:

Sanitary sewer installation is now complete, and watermain replacement has commenced north of William Street. Due to constraints related to the location of the gas main and the risk of gas main breaks, the scope of work on West River Street has been reduced this year. As a result, no remaining sidewalk can be removed, and work between Mechanic Street and William Street cannot proceed this year. Current efforts are focused on areas already disrupted. Once the watermain replacement is complete, several smaller storm sewer replacements will follow, along with interim surface restoration. The road will be paved, sidewalks and driveways will be patched with asphalt for the winter, and yard spaces will be topsoiled and graded for positive drainage. Restoration work and work south of William Street will resume in spring 2025
Some unexpected issues with gas main breaks has delayed the completion of West River Street in Paris. Originally slated to wrap up the first week of December, the project will be completed in the Spring / Summer of 2025. The road will be paved, and sidewalks and driveways will be patched for the winter.
While the goal was to complete all work in 2024, gas main constraints have shifted final project completion to early summer 2025.
The gas main replacement is scheduled to begin in December 2024
Please refer to Municipal 511 for the most up-to-date traffic information regarding road construction and closures.
It is our goal to minimize any inconvenience to our residents. Your patience through any disruption will be greatly appreciated.
