construction worker

Construction will begin on a 3.7 km section of Alton Road West between Highway 38 and Loughborough Portland Boundary Road in May 2023.

  • Work will begin in May and will take 10-12 weeks
  • Work will typically be done between the hours of 7 am and 7 pm, Monday to Friday (if weekend work is required, we'll notify area residents)
  • The road will be accessible at all times with one lane open. Expect traffic delays

The existing roadway will be pulverized, re-graded and built up with improved granular base. Roadway cross-culverts will be removed and replaced and private entrance culverts will also be replaced. Ditching improvements will be carried out for improved roadside drainage. Driving lane widths will be constructed to meet current road standards and be topped with a new double surface treatment (tar and chip).

The work is categorized as a Schedule “A” project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process and is considered a pre-approved construction project under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Construction activities will be led by the Township of South Frontenac Public Works team.
