Stevensville reconstruction project to close nearby park for a month
March 12, 2025 at 4:26 AM
A busy Stevensville park will be closed for a month starting this week due to nearby construction.
United Empire Loyalist Park on West Main Street is off limits as of Monday, says a social media post about the work.
An Ott Road and West Main Street reconstruction project is the cause of the closure.
The town says updates will be posted when the park is set to reopen.
The project area is located along Ott Road from 30 metres north of the CN railway tracks to West Main Street, and West Main Street from Ott Road to May Avenue.
The timing of the project is driven by the Village Creek Estates development located south of West Main Street.
A risk analysis of this area recommended the replacement of approximately 300 metres of 150-millimetre diameter cast iron watermain along Ott Road from north of the CN tracks to West Main Street.
The Ott Road and West Main Street upgrade was also identified in the 2018 development charges background study, the town says.
The general scope of work for this project includes full reconstruction and upgrade of the existing Ott Road and West Main Street roadway section to an urban cross-section including installation of storm sewer infrastructure, new sidewalks, and concrete curb and gutter, explains the local government.
It will also involve replacement of the existing 150-millimetre diameter cast iron watermain along Ott Road from north of the CN tracks to West Main Street.
