October 31, 2025 - Update

Happy Halloween, Fingal! As the ghosts and goblins pack away their costumes for another year, crews are getting ready to begin a different kind of transformation, the start of the Village of Fingal Reconstruction Project.

Bre-Ex Construction will begin Stage 1A of this Project the week of November 10th.

Phase 1A work area is shown in red on the map below, and is expected to take place between November 2025 and May 2026. Construction will focus on Union Road north of Fingal Line, Fowler Street, and Mill (Millpark) Street.

As a result, Fowler Street, Millpark Street and Union Road North of Fingal Line will be closed to through traffic and open to local traffic only. Fingal Line will remain open for the remainder of the season.

Work will begin at the future sanitary pumping station, which is the deepest point of the project, and progress outward through the village.

Here’s what residents and drivers can expect during the first week:

• Erosion control fencing (a temporary barrier used to prevent soil and sediment from being washed away by rainwater) will be installed to manage runoff within the construction zone.
• Tree protection fencing (temporary fencing placed around trees that will remain) will be set up to keep them safe during construction.
• Heavy equipment such as excavators and trucks will begin arriving on site. Please give crews space and be patient as machinery is unloaded and moved.
• Traffic control measures including signage and barrels will be set up to guide drivers safely through the construction zone.
• A laydown yard (a designated space where materials such as gravel, concrete, and pipe are delivered and stored) will be prepared nearby.
• Crews will pulverize (grind up) the surface of Union Road north of Fingal Line, Fowler Street, and Millpark Street. This will create a temporary gravel-like surface, so please drive slowly and follow posted speed limits to help reduce dust.

When the project is complete, Fingal’s main streets will be safer and more welcoming with new sidewalks separated from the road to make walking easier and safer for everyone. By Halloween 2027, trick-or-treaters will have a smooth, accessible path to go door to door through the village.
