Planned Maintenance Activities

Summer is road maintenance and construction season. Two great resources to plan your route are the Municipal 511 map and the list of capital projects.

Every year the County also completes regular maintenance that includes:

  • Filling pot holes
  • Sweeping and shouldering
  • Brushing and roadside mowing
  • Line painting
  • Crack sealing
  • Replacing and repairing guide posts and rails
  • Installing and replacing signs
  • Culvert replacement and ditching

Winter means snowplowing, salting and sanding. The County has agreements with the local municipalities for winter maintenance on some county roads, listed below. County staff maintain all other county roads.

  • Algonquin Highlands maintains county road 8, 11, 12, 13 and 39.
  • Dysart et al maintains county road 19.
  • Highlands East maintains county road 5, 9, 15 and 48.
  • Minden Hills maintains county road 2 and 20.

Be safe around plows

Use caution when driving near snowplows. Stay back when following a working snowplow with flashing blue lights. It is dangerous to pass a working snowplow. Sight lines are reduced from the blowing snow coming from the plow. Be patient. We are trying to make the roads safer for everyone.

Help us keep roads clear

You can help with winter operations by keeping the following in mind:

  • Do not push or blow snow onto the traveled roadway. This can be very dangerous for traffic and is in contravention of the Highway Traffic Act.
  • Do not park on the road or shoulder of any county road. This impedes snow plowing, salting and sanding and your vehicle could be towed.

You can refer to the Municipal 511 map to find out which roads are closed or restricted for the following reasons:

  • Construction
  • Washouts and flooding
  • Load restrictions
  • Special events (such as parades)
  • Damage to the road
