During the Strathroy-Caradoc Council meeting last week, the results of a 10-Year Road Needs Study were presented. The study assesses the current condition of the Municipality’s road infrastructure, outlines a plan for improvements over the next decade. Commissioned by B.M. Ross and Associates, the study evaluated 255 km of roads, prioritizing maintenance and rehabilitation to enhance safety and reduce long-term expenses.
The study found that, while much of the road network is in fair to good condition, certain areas require attention to prevent further deterioration. A comparison with the 2015 Road Needs Study shows a decline in average road conditions, highlighting the need for increased maintenance and investment. The recommended funding for road resurfacing and reconstruction totals $67,966,700 over the next 10 years, averaging $6,796,700 annually. Projects will be coordinated with water and wastewater upgrades to optimize costs and minimize disruptions. More on our website.
