Road Closures and Construction

Project will include the second and final phase of reconstruction of approximately 1.8 km of Road 38 from Yarker Road to Murton Road. Recommended design will include full depth reconstruction of the roadway complete with two lanes and two paved shoulders (11.0m width) and shoulder rounding.

Work will begin on the rehabilitation of approximately 27 kms of surface treated roadways with localized surface repairs and application of a single surface treatment (chip seal).  These chip seals typically add 5 to 7 years of additional service life at a relatively low cost.  Rehabilitations also help lower unplanned maintenance costs (potholes, cracking and edge break up). More details will be available on engagefrontenac.ca soon.

The Bedford Mills Bridge is located on Perth Road approximately 0.3 km north of Massassauga Road. The bridge structure was built in 1962 and first rehabilitated back in 1997. The bridge is a single span T-Beam Structure with a deck slab system. The bridge has an overall span of 19.1m and a width of 9.9m.

The bridge structure is currently recommended for rehabilitation work on the abutments, pre-stressed girders, (new) concrete approach slabs and distribution slabs,  expansion joints,  bearing seats, barrier systems,  guiderail systems, and erosion at embankments. 

• Start date: July 2026
