King Street West Reconstruction

Scope of the Project

This project involves the reconstruction of King Street West, from Second Street to Lacroix Street, and the replacement of the watermain on First Street, from King Street West to Wellington Street. The project will also include traffic signal work at the intersection of King Street West and Lacroix Street, in the community of Chatham.

This project continues Chatham-Kent's efforts to eliminate combined sewers, providing separated storm and sanitary sewers for the residents along this section of King Street West. In addition to the sewer separation, the existing watermains along King Street West and First Street will be replaced. Overall, this work will improve the water distribution network and upgrade the neighborhood's sanitary collection and stormwater collection and conveyance systems.

Specifically, the project includes:

• Installing a new sanitary sewer and service connections to the property line
• Installing a new storm sewer system and catch basins
• Installing new private stormwater drain connections to the property line at each property
• Replacing the existing watermain, service connections, and appurtenances
• Reconstructing the existing asphalt road, reducing the lane widths from 4.0 meters to 3.3 meters, as a traffic calming measure
• Replacing and installing concrete curb and gutter
• Replacing concrete sidewalks to Municipal and Provincial Standards
• Replacing the existing streetlights to Municipal and Provincial Standards
• Replacing the existing traffic signals at the Lacroix Street and King Street West intersection to Provincial Standards
• Replacing driveway approaches within municipal boulevards
• Boulevard grading and restoration

Construction is anticipated to be part of the 2025 construction season and be completed in Spring 2026.
