As part of the City of Barrie’s ongoing efforts to reduce flooding risk and upgrade downtown infrastructure to support growth, the next phase of the Sophia Trunk Storm Sewers (Owen & Sophia) project begins this week.
Starting Friday, June 6, Owen Street will be closed from north of Collier Street to south of McDonald Street, including the Worsley Street intersection. The closure is expected to remain in place until October 2025, weather permitting.
All vehicles will be restricted from travelling through the closure. Local access for residents and businesses will be maintained (with intermittent interruptions), and detour routes will be in place. Access for emergency vehicles to respond within the closure will be maintained.
