St. Jude's Cemetery Culvert Replacement

About the project

The Town of Oakville is advancing work to replace an aging stormwater culvert located beneath the roadway within St. Jude’s Cemetery. The existing 135 metre corrugated steel pipe has reached the end of its service life and requires replacement to ensure the continued safe conveyance of stormwater through the area. The work will include

• Replacement of the existing CSP culvert with a new high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe of equivalent size and function
• Installation of new headwalls with safety grates at the inlet and outlet
• Reconstruction and repaving of the cemetery roadway above the culvert

Project status 

Construction is scheduled to begin August 17, 2026, and is expected to conclude in December 2026 (weather permitting).

What to expect during construction

St. Jude’s Cemetery will remain open during construction.

• Interments, visitations, and cemetery services will continue
• Portions of the cemetery driveway will be temporarily closed to vehicles. A temporary parking area will be provided for visitors
• Construction areas will be clearly marked and secured
• Regular construction hours are Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The Town will work to minimize disruption and ensure respectful access for families and visitors.
