We will be reconstructing a 3.6 km section of Bedford Road. Bedford Road was selected due to its very poor road surface ratings in the Township's 2022 Comprehensive Roads Needs Study, along with escalating maintenance costs.

Key information

  • Work will begin in July 2024 and will take 8-10 weeks until September 2024.
  • Work will typically be done between the hours of 7 am and 7 pm, Monday to Friday (if weekend work is required, we'll notify area residents)
  • The road will be accessible at all times with one lane open except for one planned 24-hour road closure. We'll provide notice to residents and emergency services before the closure, along with an approved signed detour.
  • Expect traffic delays and obey all sign personnel.

The project includes the following activities and improvements:

  • The existing roadway will be pulverized, re-graded and built up with an improved granular base to meet the designed cross-section.
  • Roadway cross-culverts will be removed and replaced “like for like” at designated locations. Private entrance culverts will also be replaced.
  • Upgraded guide rail system to meet current roadside safety standards.
  • Ditching improvements will be carried out for improved roadside drainage.
  • Driving lane widths will be constructed to meet current road standards and be topped with a new double surface treatment (tar and chip).

This work is categorized as an “Exempt” project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process and is considered a pre-approved construction project under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.

Thanks for your cooperation as we work to improve roads in South Frontenac!
