Improvements for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and drivers are planned for the King Street West area of Portsmouth in 2025 and 2026. This includes roadway repaving, new multi-use pathways and connections to improve pedestrian safety, as well as transit improvements and intersection upgrades.
Currently, Utilities Kingston is completing a major upgrade to its Portsmouth Pumping Station and trunk watermain. Once that work is completed, the City will follow up with road repairs and upgrades.
2025 planned improvements:
Repaving King Street West from Trail Head Place to Country Club Drive.
2026 planned improvements:
A multi-use pathway connecting Trail Head Place to Country Club Drive along the south side of King Street West
A multi-use pathway connecting Country Club Drive and Portsmouth Avenue along both sides of King Street West.
A multi-use pathway connecting the entrance to St. Lawrence College to King Street West along the west side of Portsmouth Avenue.
Upgrades to three intersections along King Street West at Portsmouth Avenue, Country Club Drive and Trail Head Place. This includes pedestrian and cyclist crossing improvements and the installation of new bike signals.
Transit updates, including new stops and a transit priority lane at the intersection of Portsmouth Avenue and King Street West, to make buses more efficient.
Improvements to pedestrian network connections at the King Street West and Union Street intersection
Repaving King Street West from Country Club Drive to Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard.
