Our municipal engineering team was contracted to complete the James Street reconstruction from Crosier Street to Swimming Pool Road. The project required replacement of sanitary, storm, and water infrastructure, sidewalk, gutter, curb, and asphalt surfaces, and traffic and streetlights at the intersection of James and Church.

Given the project’s span, it was completed in three phases over the course of one year. In 2020, our municipal engineering team was also contracted by the County on the reconstruction of the adjacent King Street. These sections form the town’s main arterial road that supports its local businesses, making it a high-traffic area.

With no viable option to reroute traffic around Delhi, our engineers worked to develop strategic routing and lane-shifting plans. This allowed for traffic to continue without impeding construction, resulting in the James Street reconstruction project finishing on schedule and on budget.

Narrow lanes within the intersection made travelling through a challenge for motorists and transport truck drivers. Further compounding this challenge was a right-turn lane branching off of the main road. In the design stage, Vallee’s project engineers increased the lane widths to alleviate the congestion and included a conversion of the right-turn lane to a T-intersection. This was a more suitable approach for the low traffic volumes on the adjacent road.
