Fountain Street Reconstruction - Young Street to Spring Street

Official title: Fountain Street reconstruction

Informational Community Planning Housing & Communities Transportation
Waterloo is rebuilding Fountain Street from Young Street West to Spring Street West. The project includes replacing sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and watermains, plus full road reconstruction with new sidewalks. Construction is planned to start in Spring 2026 and wrap up by late 2026.

Why This Matters

Live on Fountain Street or nearby? Expect road closures and detours during construction. The upside: new pipes mean fewer water main breaks and better drainage. New sidewalks will make walking safer.

What Could Change

The city will replace aging underground infrastructure and rebuild the road surface. Construction will likely affect traffic patterns and street parking for several months in 2026.

Key Issues

  • How will construction affect local traffic and access?
  • What is the timeline for different phases of work?
