The King William Street revitalization project in the Town of Huntsville represents a unique point in Huntsville’s history. The crews you will encounter are upgrading underground infrastructure that is exceeding 50 years old. This essential work will make our roads smoother, safer, improve pedestrian access, alleviate parking issues, increase the capacity for development, and improve the efficiency of our water and sewer infrastructure.

COVID-19 Update: During this time, all involved will be committed to closely monitoring construction site conditions to ensure compliance with COVID-19 measures recommended by local, provincial, and federal health officials. Businesses and residents living or working near King William Street who have questions or concerns are reminded not to approach the contractor, to minimize direct contact with our project team. J.B. Enterprises Ltd. will be contacting businesses directly regarding construction and maintaining business continuity for essential services.
