The major work of replacing the pipes will be completed next week, with the resurfacing of Henry Street finished by the end of June. City Engineer, Phil Kalyta, says the project will be completed on time and both the Bethesda Hospital and affected residences have been patient and accommodating during construction. Maple Leaf Construction is the contractor for this project.
