City Officials Advance Infrastructure Projects Through 2026 Capital Budget

The City of Belleville approved a $43.1 million Avonlough Road sewage pumping station project, the largest infrastructure undertaking in the city, with construction beginning summer 2026 and completion by December 2028. This decision forms part of the 2026 Approved Capital Budget that also lists Old Highway 2 Reconstruction, Meyers Pier Rehabilitation, Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion and Fire Hall #2 Relocation.

Avonlough Road Sewage Pumping Station

Officials identified the Avonlough Road sewage pumping station as the single biggest item in the current capital plan. The project will address long-term capacity needs for wastewater services. Construction is scheduled to start in summer 2026 and finish by December 2028, according to the 2026 Approved Capital Budget and 10-Year Plan Summary.

Bridge Street East and Local Road Projects

Major Bridge Street East reconstruction is underway to replace aging watermain and sewer services, with roadwork and sidewalk repairs expected to finish by winter 2027. At the same time, Orchard Drive and Pringle Drive reconstruction projects are in progress to install new storm and sanitary sewers plus water mains, with completion anticipated by the end of 2026. These street-level upgrades are listed among the active works in the city's engineering and development records.

North East Industrial Park Expansion

The city is expanding the North East Industrial Park by acquiring 900+ acres to double its size. Ongoing infrastructure upgrades include sidewalk and trail networks and road servicing improvements that support the enlarged industrial area. These steps appear in the backgrounder on investments in active communities and access to transit in Belleville.

The 2026 Approved Capital Budget provides the framework that ties these separate projects together. City documents show that each project carries its own start and finish dates, allowing residents and businesses to plan around expected disruptions on specific streets and corridors.

Residents can review the full list of projects and timelines on the City of Belleville website under the 2026 capital budget section. Updates on construction schedules for Bridge Street East, Orchard Drive and Pringle Drive are posted through the city's engineering and development department pages.
