Downtown Paris Phases and Detour Map Update

Enbridge Gas is beginning work this week in downtown Paris, replacing natural gas infrastructure. This work is essential preparation for the Downtown Dig and is expected to last approximately 60 working days. The Downtown Dig is proposed to begin once this work is complete.

Proposed Project Phases

The following maps highlight the proposed project phases for the Dig, as well as detour routes.

Detour Routes Map

This detour routes map has been created to help those traveling to the area plan ahead for when the Dig begins. These detours aim to minimize disruptions, maintain access to businesses and key areas throughout the construction period, and keep the public informed about the project.

Signage will be placed at key access points, not only near downtown Paris but also in areas commonly used by traffic traveling through Paris and the surrounding region. As a number of areas will be impacted, we ask that you plan your trip ahead of time to avoid delays.

While construction will be challenging for residents and businesses at times, the work taking place includes replacing critical major infrastructure which will ensure the longevity of the thriving downtown for decades to come. The final result will be beautiful, functional and accessible for all. Together we can keep our community strong. Remember to Shop Local and support our downtown businesses throughout the transformation!

Thank you to the community for your patience and understanding.
