Overview

Project number: 07517 |  Updated: June 2026

The Region of Waterloo is resurfacing Ira Needles Boulevard between Yellow Birch Drive and Erb Street West. Deterioration of the pavement on the road has accelerated and has been further worsened by recent winter freeze-thaw conditions.

Maintaining a safe, reliable road network is one of the Region’s core responsibilities. This work will improve the roadway and support the reliable movement of people and goods while helping maintain an accessible and connected transportation network. The work includes:

• Asphalt resurfacing
• Installation of new curbs in various areas
• Manhole and catch basin lid adjustments

This project will be completed in stages:

• Stage 1: Yellow Birch Road to Highland Road (including Highland roundabout)
• Stage 2: Highland Road to University Road to Fairway Road North/Kossuth Road
• Stage 3: University Road to Erb Street West (including University Road roundabout)
