The Town of Sutton is preparing to reconstruct the northern section of Western Street between Rue Principale Nord and Route 215 at an estimated cost of $7 million.

According to Mayor Robert Benoît, the reconstruction project has been years in the making and it will see a complete re-design of this particular section of the street. Benoît noted that the design concept for Western Street is meant to be “innovative” with the aim of providing more security to residents living on the street and pedestrians.

The reconstruction project also involves replacing the water and sewer infrastructures - which are outdated and causing a loss of water for the municipality - and updating both parking lots at Goyette-Hill Park, added Benoît.

Recognizing that there are concerns around the impacts of the project, Benoît emphasized that the administration will be collaborating closely with the population to limit disruptions as much as possible.
