The final phase of the Main Street reconstruction project for the section between Foch Bridge and Chesley Street, including Dock Street, is scheduled to begin on May 13, 2024, and continue until the end of November 2024. At a construction cost of approximately $9.1 million, the project aims to modernize and upgrade the water supply, sanitary sewer, and stormwater infrastructure along Main Street, benefiting Shediac residents. Additionally, asphalt, curbs, sidewalks, and property are included in the project scope.
Throughout the duration of the project, traffic management will be diligently overseen by a dedicated traffic control division. Two-way traffic flow will be maintained on Main Street, ensuring minimal disruption to the daily commutes of residents and businesses. However, Dock Street will remain closed to through traffic for the duration of the construction.

Given the size and scope of the work, challenges may arise, and residents should anticipate some traffic delays even with two-way traffic as Main Street does become congested in peak season even with no construction. Residents are strongly advised to plan for additional travel time accordingly.
It is important to note that throughout the project duration, businesses in the area will remain accessible to patrons.
Residents will retain access to their driveways for parking purposes on a daily basis. However, in instances where work is immediately in front of a property, designated temporary parking areas will be assigned for affected residents on those days.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience during this period of infrastructure enhancement. Should you have any inquiries or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the Town of Shediac at 506 532-7000 or by email at
Phase 1 of the Breaux Bridge Street extension and Bellevue Heights reconstruction project has been ongoing since May 17, 2024, and will be active until the end of October 2024. This construction project will include Bellevue Heights from Main Street to civic address #125. In addition, work will also be carried out to extend Breaux Bridge Street, from where it currently ends near LaForest Street to Bellevue Heights .
Updates
The scope of the project includes the extension of Breaux Bridge, construction of a roundabout at Breaux Bridge and Bellevue Heights and street reconstruction of Bellevue Heights. Related work includes the extension and replacement of watermains, storm sewers, sanitary sewers, road reconstruction, installation of a temporary access road, asphalt paving, curb and gutter, sidewalks, multi-use pathways, and restoration of affected areas.
Residents should expect occasional lane reductions on Main Street at the intersection of Bellevue Heights when work is being carried out. Two-way traffic flow will be maintained on Main Street. Every effort will be made to maintain access for residents and businesses.
To avoid having to travel through the construction zone, a temporary access road will be constructed between Bellevue Heights and the current end of Breaux Bridge.
Residents of Bellevue Heights will retain access to their driveways for parking purposes. However, when work will be done directly in front of a property, designated temporary parking areas will be assigned for affected residents on those days.

The roadwork planned as part of the 2017 Downtown Shediac Revitalization Project will begin Monday, April 10 along Main Street, between Sackville Street and the entrance to Home Hardware/No Frills. The work will continue until late June, after which the project will be put on hold to reduce traffic volumes during the peak season. The work will resume Monday, August 28 and will run through late November.
Estimated at around $3.5 million, the 2017 Shediac Downtown Revitalization Project was approved under the Government of Canada’s Clean Water and Wastewater Fund. Shediac residents will benefit from modernized water supply, sanitary sewer and storm water infrastructure on Main Street. Furthermore, the project includes adding trees and greenery, upgrading crosswalks and replacing sidewalks.
The work could pose challenges and side streets may be congested as an excess of motorists will be using alternate routes over the course of the project. Residents are therefore strongly encouraged to plan for extra travel time.
It should be noted that businesses will remain accessible throughout the project.
