Water Street Infrastructure project behind schedule

The Water Street Infrastructure project, currently underway at Prescott Street and Job’s Cove, is behind schedule.

The City of St. John's said the project was slated to be completed by June 30. Due to unforeseen underground infrastructure challenges, the new estimated completion date is the second week of July.

Base course asphalt is scheduled to be in place Thursday, June 29 with most of the concrete work completed by Friday, June 30.

The contractor will not be on-site during the Canada Day long weekend. They will return to the site on July 4.
