Chilliwack infrastructure project to last about 9 months, result in road closures of Main St. at some point
CHILLIWACK – An infrastructure project involving utility upgrades, and public works improvements to portions of downtown Chilliwack, is expected to last about nine months and result in partial and full-road closures of sections of Main Street at some point.
According to the city’s website, and the text of a letter dated Sept. 29, 2026, that was provided to business tenants on Main Street, the City of Chilliwack is notifying the public about upcoming improvements to Main Street and utility upgrades happening north of Highway 1.
Construction will commence with utility upgrades, starting on Yale Road at Alexander Avenue, and continuing along Main Street to Wellington Avenue. Utility upgrades will occur and proceed during the fall and into 2027.
The city says this work will be followed by construction of civil and electrical infrastructure for the south half of Main Street – Yale Road to Kipp Avenue. The improvements consist of curb realignment, a new traffic signal and lighting, a new concrete boulevard, street streets, and paving, all with a goal of being completed by summer 2027.
