Round Lake Road Reconstruction (Duff Rd. to Latimer Rd.)

The Township of South Frontenac will be reconstructing the 2.0km section of Round Lake Road from Duff Road to Latimer Road during the summer of 2026. Round Lake Road was selected as a priority project for 2026 due to the poor road surface ratings identified within the Township’s 2022 Comprehensive Road Needs Study. The pavement condition ratings for the roadway were 40 (Poor) in 2025. Ongoing increases in unplanned maintenance and repair costs for pothole repairs and edge break-up also led to the current timing of the project.

The project includes the following activities and improvements:

  • Existing roadway will be pulverized, re-graded and built-up with an improved granular base to meet the design cross-section
  • Road cross-culverts will be removed and replaced with like for like structures. Private driveway culverts will also be replaced
  • Ditching improvements will be carried out for improved roadside drainage
  • Roadway will be finished with a new double surface treatment (chip seal) and a fog seal

This work is categorized as “Exempt” under the 2024 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process and is considered a pre-approved construction project under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.

Further information on the selected contractor and start dates will be provided on this web page. Notices will also be issued to properties fronting on the project.
