We’re thrilled to announce the completion of the Aberdeen Street reconstruction project for 2024! The newly improved street has design features to make our community safer, more accessible and more enjoyable for everyone, including:
- Wider sidewalks for safer and more comfortable pedestrian access.
- Upgraded watermain for improved reliability.
- Separated combined sewer to enhance drainage and reduce flooding risks.
- Underground water storage to support better water management.
Landscaping is set to begin next year, so stay tuned for the finishing touches!
A huge thank you to all the residents, businesses, and commuters for your patience and support throughout the project. Together, we’ve built something amazing for Aberdeen Street.
Vehicle owners with parking permits issued for the Aberdeen St construction zone set to expire on Nov. 30 will have them automatically extended until Dec. 31. There will be no ticketing for vehicles with valid permits during this extended period.
On Monday, Nov. 11 and Tuesday, Nov. 12, from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. Utilities Kingston will be temporarily turning off the water along Aberdeen Street between William and Johnson Streets. Affected residents will also receive a hand-delivered letter. This essential work is required to reconnect the watermain, ensuring safe and reliable water service!
We appreciate your patience during this important upgrade. Make sure to stock up on water for the day visit the outage map for real-time updates , and feel free to reach out to Utilities Kingston if you have any questions.
We’re pleased to share that the underground utilities are nearing completion at the William Street and Aberdeen intersections! The team has been hard at work, including a successful weekend shift, and we’re gearing up for more activity on September 28 to keep the momentum going.
Everything is on track for a timely project completion before winter hits, and we couldn’t be happier with the progress. Thank you for your continued support and patience as we transform Aberdeen! Stay tuned for more updates.
City to begin Aberdeen Street reconstruction to upgrade infrastructure and enhance pedestrian safety
KINGSTON, ONT. / June 6, 2024
Kingston’s University District will see construction this summer to support housing growth in the area with a complete reconstruction of Aberdeen Street planned to begin in July and wrap up later this fall.
“Kingston is working to support housing growth in the City and to improve pedestrian safety,” said Melanie Knowles, Project Manager. “This reconstruction is an opportunity to do both those things while also rehabilitating an iconic Kingston street.”
Upgrades to the watermain system will take place first. Once work on the underground pipes is completed the street will be rebuilt with improved pedestrian access and safety including a boulevard separated from the roadway.
During construction, Aberdeen Street will be fully closed to vehicles with no-street parking. Pedestrians will still be able to access buildings on Aberdeen Street. Garbage and recycling collection will continue with some slight alterations. William Street will remain open through construction.
