Five (5) Projects to improve roads are being implemented over the next couple months; two are in Ward 5.  Keele Street from Lloydtown Aurora Road to Kettleby Road for rehabilitation. The other project is the 18th Sideroad,Jane west to Hwy 400 which will be converted from gravel to pavement. The final stage of both projects will be done in spring 2024 when top course asphalt will be placed. As identified in an earlier post these 5 projects are included in the 2023 budget as road improvements which can include rehabilitation of existing asphalt roads, guide rails, culvert replacements. shouldering and gravel conversions.  The projects have been selected based on the most recent roads needs assessment.  For more details about specifics of the two projects refer to the notices for each.

As travellers often try to avoid road construction by accessing other roads in the area King Township Roads Departments has made special effort to discourage such.  There is no reason to avoid Keele as it will always be open during this project.  To discourage accessing Kettleby Road there is additional signage, YRP has been asked to increase its presence and the contractor has been asked to provide some controls during peak hours.
