Second Avenue Road Reconstruction - Sudbury
Official title: Second Avenue Road Reconstruction
Greater Sudbury is rebuilding Second Avenue between Bancroft Drive and Kenwood Street. The project includes new road surface, sidewalks on both sides, and separated bike lanes. Underground infrastructure like watermains and storm sewers will also be replaced.
Why This Matters
Live on or near Second Avenue? Expect construction disruptions, but you'll get a safer street with better sidewalks and bike lanes. Drivers will benefit from a new centre turn lane to reduce traffic backups. Even if you don't live nearby, this sets a template for how Sudbury handles road rebuilds.
What Could Change
Second Avenue will be completely rebuilt with new asphalt, curbs, and a two-way centre turn lane. New sidewalks will be installed on both sides, plus separated paved bike lanes. Watermains, fire hydrants, and storm sewers will be replaced. Overhead utilities will be relocated and street lighting upgraded.
