5-Year Plan for Hard Surfaced Roads and Bridges 2023-2027

In early 2023, Township staff worked on a five year capital plan for hard surfaced roads and bridges driven by the findings of the 2022 WSP Golder Roads Study. The five-year plan includes $36.1 million in hard surfaced road investments and $6.7 million in bridge investments through to the end of 2027. Key highlights of the plan include:

• Reconstruction of 19.0km of paved (asphalt) roads
• Rehabilitation of 8.9km of paved (asphalt) roads
• Total investments of 27.9km or 17.2% of all paved (asphalt) assets
• Reconstruction of 40.1km of surface treated roads
• Rehabilitation of 143.6km of surface treated roads
• Total investments of 183.7km or 41.4% of all surface treated assets
• Construction of 24.5 centerline-km of new paved shoulders
• Reconstruction 8 bridges / large culvert structures
• Rehabilitation of 4 bridges / large culvert structures
