Lawrence Avenue: Karn Street to Victoria Street South

As part of the City of Kitchener’s ongoing efforts to provide consistent and reliable service, we have scheduled road and sewer improvements in your neighbourhood.

The reconstruction is being done to replace the older, deteriorated underground services.

These improvements are scheduled to begin around Early April 2024, with an estimated completion date around Late August 2024. Once a schedule for construction has been confirmed you will be notified. You will also be notified closer to the date construction is scheduled to start on your section of the street, and how long access to your driveway will be affected.

The specific improvements scheduled for this street are:

• Upgrade the existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water mains as required.
• Replace existing sanitary and water services from the new mains to the property line.
• Existing sidewalk will be replaced, and new sidewalk will be installed on the other side.
• New curb & gutter to be installed on both sides.
• Upgrade the asphalt roadway.
• Replace all driveway ramp entrances in concrete.

As more information becomes available, we will post it to this page. Subscribe to get email notification of project updates by using the Stay Informed 'Subscribe' button.

Road reconstructions help Kitchener adapt to climate change.

Replacing outdated stormwater pipes and adding green infrastructure during road construction makes Kitchener more resilient to future flooding caused by climate change. This road reconstruction project is funded in part by the Government of Canada.
