Second Street Sewer Upgrade - London Infrastructure Project
Official title: Second Street
London is upgrading the sanitary sewer on Second Street to handle population growth. Construction will run from spring 2026 through fall, with some cleanup into 2027. The project runs from Oxford Street East to south of the CN rail crossing.
Why This Matters
Live on or near Second Street? Expect road closures, limited driveway access, and construction noise for most of 2026. The street will be local traffic only during work. If you need special access arrangements, you'll want to contact the city now.
What Could Change
The existing sanitary sewer will be replaced with larger pipes to handle more capacity. Some trees will be removed. There will be a temporary full road closure when crews install the new sewer under the CN rail crossing.

- How will construction affect traffic and driveway access on Second Street?
- What trees need to be removed and why?
