2026 Rural Road Micro-Surfacing Program

Micro-surfacing is the wear surface on many of the Town's rural roads. For 2026, planned priority road segments to receive micro-surfacing include: 

• Fifth Line between 10 Side Road and 15 Side Road,

• Sixth Line between 10 Side Road and 15 Side Road,

• Fifth Line between 22 Side Road and HWY #7.

Completion of these segments and/or other segments is subject to any emerging priorities following winter and spring thaw. The micro-surfacing operation typically occurs later in the construction season and is preceded by asphalt prep work to correct road shape and any significantly degraded areas.

• Under Warranty - Project reached substantial completion and is under warranty

• Warranty Work - Project outside warranty, but repair work remains outstanding

The Town’s annual roadwork construction plan is developed while reviewing the overall 10-year road network plan. There are several considerations for determining what roads will receive work each year, including:

• Evaluation of the work required to keep infrastructure in a state of good repair.

• Coordinating construction schedules to align with Halton Region (or Ministry of Transportation) scheduled work;

• Budget considerations;

• Work is required to accommodate future development.

The Engineering and Construction Division coordinates road resurfacing and road reconstruction on behalf of the Town. A complete listing of current Capital projects is available.

Staff work to mitigate impacts to residents by aligning construction schedules with other agencies. For example, if Halton Region plans to disturb pavement to install water or wastewater mains, the Town will coordinate to have any required construction on the road at the same time so residents are inconvenienced only once.

This work is a priority capital investment for the Town, improving road and bridge/culvert conditions, and road safety for many years to come.

The Town maintains roads in a state of good repair through various levels of road construction, from maintenance such as crack sealing and pothole repair, to resurfacing and major road reconstruction. The Town also makes improvements to the right-of-way by adding pedestrian amenities and intersection improvements when required. Significant bridge and culvert rehabilitation and replacement workis also required as identified through bi-annual reviews.

The Town provides notices of construction to residents directly impacted. In the event there is a change in the project schedule, residents may receive a secondary notice. The Town also erects on-site notice boards with project information and contacts. Door knockers are provided locally for significant impacts on resident access.

Yes. The Town will continue to see road construction whether from the annual road resurfacing program, various road reconstructions, intersection improvements, or adding pedestrian amenities along the right of way; Regional upkeep and building of watermains and sanitary sewers or preparing for new development by constructing the watermain to bring lake water up Trafalgar Road and a new sanitary sewer up Eighth Line.

The Town’s Transportation and Public Works, and Engineering and Construction department manages the annual road and bridge maintenance and improvement plan which includes pavement management, collector arterial resurfacing and capital works construction programs to renew and enhance infrastructure across Halton Hills. It will focus on upgrading roads or bridges in various ward areas. The Engineering & Construction department manages this work.

Pavement Management, the Town’s annual, local resurfacing program, has been in operation since 2003. The collector/arterial resurfacing program, focusing on upgrading collector and arterial roads in Halton Hills, has been executed on a bi-annual basis since 2021.

Enhancing residents’ quality of life by improving road conditions and road safety for many years to come is a priority capital investment for the Town.

Anticipated commencement of construction is project-specific. It is important to note that construction project schedules are weather-dependent. Written notices to the affected residences will be provided prior to any work commencement.

Work will be managed and administered by the Engineering and Construction section of the Transportation and Public Works department or as a joint project with Halton Region.

Project times vary because there are multiple streets involved, and the contractors will be moving around between the streets designated for repair and upgrade.

The Town will work with the contractor to ensure affected streets are reinstated to base asphalt before starting work on other streets. Residents will be notified in writing prior to any work commencing.

The Town will provide ongoing communications with homeowners, including mailed or hand-delivered notices with information on any major delays and next steps. 

While the Town strives to minimize disruption for residents and businesses, there will be some noise, dust and vibration as part of the construction process.

Access to driveways may be temporarily blocked at certain times during construction. Water shutdowns may be necessary, but advance notice will be given. We ask contractors to work between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. In order to make the site safe and for unforeseen circumstances, contractors may extend their hours of work during off-peak times. Noise by-law limits work between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m.

Not all properties will be affected. A pre-engineering review is completed ahead of the project to determine required repairs based on surface drainage concerns and storm sewer conditions.

If the work includes curb removal and re-grading, for the most part, the only area that may be affected will be approximately 1-2 meters behind the curb.

Where there isan existing sidewalk, asphalt driveway, or boulevards will be repaved, and a saw-cut of the existing asphalt driveway behind the curb or edge of pavement will form the limit for full-width repaving of the existing driveway. Topsoil and sod or seed will be used in all grass areas for restoration.

The contractor is responsible for watering new sod for 30 days or until it has taken root. Once the Town has reviewed the performance of the sod and confirmed it is healthy and actively growing, the homeowner will be notified by letter of their responsibility for the ongoing sod maintenance, including a “New Turf Maintenance” fact sheet.

Sidewalk removal and replacement falls under the Town’s Public Works maintenance program (unless specifically identified on the drawings); however, any sidewalk bays damaged by curb removal through these projects will be replaced.

The contractor is responsible for maintaining clean and safe roads throughout construction.

Residents will be notified if the road is closed.  The Town requires roads be open to all local traffic, but with lane restrictions. Appropriate traffic control measures will be in place for safe movement of traffic; efforts will be taken to minimize delays as much as possible.

The most disruptive activity will be concrete curb and sidewalk pouring. Homeowners can expect to be restricted from access to affected driveways for a minimum of 48 hours. A notice regarding access restrictions will be provided the day before, verbally or in writing and placed on the doors.

A Notice of Construction is provided to all emergency services prior to construction. The contractor is responsible for maintaining access at all times during construction. If access is blocked, on-site staff will notify all emergency services.

We regularly communicate construction-related traffic restrictions with the various agencies, including emergency services and school transportation.

Zipper merging keeps traffic moving and is more efficient for drivers in both lanes. It also creates a sense of fairness and equity that all lanes are moving at the same rate. Zipper merging also helps reduce:

• differences in speeds between the two lanes

• the overall length ofthe  traffic backup

• congestion on freeway interchanges

• The property owner will be provided with the information needed for them to decide whether they would like to pursue the permit, i.e. whether the curb is being removed as part of the construction.
• Before completing, residents are required to fill out and submit a Construction/Excavation or Entrance on Public Highway Permit to Town Hall for review and approval. Please be aware that this process requires some lead time and that there may be applicable fees.

Complete Permit

The program's focus is on a variety of roads that require upgrading. A listing of roads and corresponding maps is included, and additionally, at ROADS 2023: Pavement Management and Collectors/Arterial Program.

Generally, roads in the worst condition are renewed first. Every five years, a detailed review of the condition of the Town’s roads is conducted. Projects also include proactive rehabilitation to extend the useful life of younger roads. Coordination with our Regional partners, local utilities and proposed developments can also impact priorities.

A Town site inspector is assigned to the work area to monitor the project’s progress.  Residents encountering issues or requiring information about the project can contact Town staff. 

Halton Region is responsible for garbage collection. Please place your garbage, blue box and green cart out on your usual collection day. It is the contractor’s responsibility to move these materials to a location where they can be accessed by the collection vehicles. Residents are advised to place their house numbers on the bins during construction.

The coordination of different crews for the work is completed methodically; if the work were forced to be completed in sections, there would be added cost and time required for the project.

Our contracts ensure the contractor maintains one lane open in each direction during the peak traffic periods - morning and night.

Since the project limits encompass a residential area, the Town will not allow 24-hour construction.

Contractors are asked to work between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. In order to make the site safe and for unforeseen circumstances, contractors may extend their hours of work during off-peak times. Noise by-law limits work between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m.

The contractor is responsible for a utility break.  However, should the concern be construction-related, please email or call the Supervisor of Construction.

Most Pavement Management projects are either being directly managed or administered by the Town. If a resident or business owner is concerned about a road that is being renewed as part of ROADS, they should email or call the Supervisor of Construction, 905-873-2600 ext. 2309, or the project-specific contact.

If the road construction is a Halton Region project, contact Halton Region at 311, or more information is provided on their website at www.halton.ca.

Please contact Supervisor of Construction and Engineering and Construction with questions and construction-related concerns such as: 

• All concerns about dirt, noise, vibration, drainage or other construction issues 

• Utility breaks – residential or business

• Information on widening curb depression for affected driveways during construction (Please be aware that this process requires a permit and some lead time and that there may be applicable fees)

• Restricted access for emergency services during construction
