PELHAM STREET SIDEWALK RENEWAL PROJECT - SEPTEMBER 8 

PELHAM STREET SIDEWALK RENEWAL PROJECT - SEPTEMBER 8 

Please be advised that Dexter Construction Company Ltd. has been contracted by the Town of Lunenburg to conduct work on a section of Pelham Street. The Pelham Street Sidewalk Renewal Project is scheduled to begin on September 8, 2026, and is expected to take approximately six to seven weeks. In the event of rain or other weather-related delays, the schedule may be extended.

The Project is intended to replace the existing sidewalk along Pelham Street from Town limits at Rous Brook up to the intersection with Shipyard Hill Road, also providing infrastructure upgrades along the curbline and an improved pedestrian crossing at Sawpit Road. The Project is part of the Town’s Capital Budget.

For safety reasons, it is expected that the Contractor shall have traffic management measures for road users travelling through the work zone. The existing sidewalk shall also be impacted through the course of the work, and there may be short periods during construction when the sidewalk or individual driveway access is not possible. The Contractor is required to mitigate these impacts throughout the performance of their work.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this work may cause and thank you for your co-operation.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the project superintendent for Dexter, Spencer Stratton at (902) 943-9934.
