Double surface road treatments begin

The County continues its rural road improvement program this month with the rollout of the 2026 double surface treatment program.

Work begins May 5 and takes place Monday to Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Preparatory work is expected to be complete by Friday, May 29. Contractor mobilization is anticipated to begin as early as Monday, June 1, weather permitting.

Advance hand-delivered notices have been provided to properties directly impacted by the scheduled road work.

Nearly 20 km of County roads will receive double surface treatment in 2026. This treatment is used on roads where routine preservation is no longer sufficient, and rehabilitation is required to extend roadway service life. The work includes roadside drainage improvements, placement of new granular material, localized base stabilization, and application of a new double surface treatment with fog seal.

Road rehabilitation and double surface treatment is to occur on the following roads:

Salem Road, various spot locations between County Road 2 to west of Carnrike Road
Victoria Road, various spot locations between County Road 23 to east of Badgley Road
County Road 13 from Babylon Road to Civic Address 2183
Carnrike Road from Lakeside Drive to Salem Road
County Road 28 from Massassauga Road to the south entrance of Fenwood Crescent
County Road 35 from Civic Address 823 to Civic Address 1226
Blakely Road from County Road 33 to the end

Traffic control measures will be in place within active construction zones. Motorists are asked to remain vigilant, follow posted signage, and reduce speeds when travelling through work areas.
