Baker Street in downtown Guelph has fully reopened to traffic two months after the latest discovery of bone fragments beneath the roadway.
Pieces of cranial bone and pieces of a coffin-like device were discovered in October, by crews working in an old tunnel.
The site was used as a public burial ground between 1827 and 1853. Human remains have been found in the area twice before – including in 2005, when somebody discovered the remains of a man, a woman, and nine infants, as well as dozens of sets of incomplete remains.
Bones from the most recent discovery will be taken to Woodlawn Memorial Park, which is where known graves from the site were moved in the 19th century.
