Sherbrooke, Tuesday, April 7, 2026 — It’s time to dust off your favorite GPS app. The City of Sherbrooke has officially unveiled its 2026 roadwork plan, and to say it’s a “big year” would be an understatement. With over 88 active construction sites scheduled between May and November, Sherbrooke residents are being urged to pack their patience along with their sunglasses this summer.

A Massive Investment in Our Streets

The city is putting its money where the potholes are. Following a significant budget increase approved last December, Sherbrooke is investing a total of $93.6 million into road and water infrastructure this year.

The budget breakdown looks like this:

  • $55.6M for brand-new 2026 projects.

  • $21.6M for projects carried over from last year.

  • $16.4M dedicated to water management and specialized infrastructure.

What to Expect on the Road

If you feel like there’s a detour on every corner, you aren’t imagining things. The city plan includes:

  • 14 Major Reconstruction Projects: Including Portland, Moore, Léger/Industriel, and Conseil.

  • 35 Repaving Projects: Keeping the ride smooth on heavy hitters like King West, King East, and Galt West.

  • Active Transit Upgrades: It’s not just for cars! We’re looking at 3.5 km of new sidewalks, 10 improved pedestrian crossings, and
