King William Street Reconstruction
About the King William Street Reconstruction Project
The District of Muskoka is reconstructing King William Street from Scott Street to Highway 60. The project is scheduled to start as early as late spring and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
The project is part of the District's investment in essential systems that make housing possible and will increase capacity to support 3,200 new homes in the Town of Huntsville.
Replacement and upgrades to aging water, wastewater and transportation infrastructure will boost housing and the economy locally and support the long-term health of Muskoka's lakes, rivers and communities.
Work will include removing and replacing:
Aboveground: road, traffic signals
Underground: sanitary and storm sewers, watermains
Streetscape: curbs, sidewalks, boulevards
