For residents living on two streets in Beeton, a few months of construction annoyance will be worth the wait when the job is completed.

The Town of New Tecumseth has announced a full reconstruction and urbanization project for Prospect and Tecumseth Street for planned roadway improvements.

The project will take place on Prospect Street from Dayfoot Street to Tecumseth Street, and on Tecumseth Street from Prospect Street to the south limit.

Work on the project will be completed by R.J. Burnside & Associates.

Included in the project is a full roadway build, improved sidewalks and active transportation, drainage upgrades, and municipal servicing improvements.

To support the design process, field investigations including topographic surveys, geotechnical testing, and other small-scale site assessments, will begin in Mar. 2026.

These activities may involve temporary lane closures or localized disruptions. Efforts will be made to minimize inconvenience to residents.

Once a preliminary design and project scope are developed, Town staff will provide the proposed design to the public to collect community feedback and address questions.

Access to properties in the area is not anticipated at this time. If required, a permission-to-enter request will be provided prior to any access.

Prior to the main construction, crews will be drilling into the road. Borehole investigation is a drilling process that provides a sample below the surface to determine the type, thickness, and suitability of the existing asphalt, road base, subbase, and soil materials, as well as groundwater conditions.

Work is expected to begin this month and wrap up early in 2027.
