Following careful consideration of tender submissions, Elgin County Council has awarded PV-EX Construction Ltd. the contract for the St. George Street (CR 26) Reconstruction project. With a total price of $3,279,205, the bid comes in under budget, allowing for the timely commencement of construction. This vital infrastructure initiative, part of the 2024 Capital Budget, aims to enhance transportation links in the Municipality of Central Elgin, covering a stretch of 1.1 kilometres from Wellington Road (CR 25) to the Canadian National Railway (CN) spur line. Construction is expected to begin in mid-June 2024, with substantial completion anticipated by the end of October 2024. Final asphalt paving and minor restoration will be completed in 2025.

Elgin County would also like to recognize the Government of Ontario for its funding assistance with the St. George Street Reconstruction project through the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF). The Government of Ontario continues to strengthen communities through investments in the construction and repair of critical infrastructure, for which the County of Elgin is grateful to be a recipient. Elgin County received $2,650,000 as part of the OCIF program and has allocated 2024 funding to the St. George Street Reconstruction.
