Roads
Temporary Closures
The Town of Milton will be completing repairs on the following roads:
Long Range Planning
Roads, bridges and other Town-owned infrastructure are evaluated to determine the condition and recommended repair, rehabilitation and/or reconstruction strategies. Long range planning involves coordinating and scheduling the work programs for various asset categories within the Town's 10-year capital forecast, based on project priorities and funding availability. Major projects, requiring a Schedule C Class environmental assessment prior to design and construction, may take several years to complete and must be scheduled accordingly.
Roads and Infrastructure Management
Infrastructure for the Town of Milton includes all Town-owned roads, bridges and sewers. (Major arterial roads and watermains are the responsibility of Halton Region.) The Town of Milton Engineering Services Department provides technical services for all new construction and reconstruction and is responsible for ongoing maintenance of all existing infrastructure.
The Town is also responsible for storm sewers. Water and wastewater are the responsibility of Halton Region.
Road and Bridge Needs Studies
Every two years, the Town conducts Road and Bridge Needs studies. Road segments are evaluated in terms of surface type, width, capacity, structural adequacy and drainage. Bridges are evaluated in terms of crossing type, number of spans, deck width and deck length. Culverts of greater than 3 metres diameter are evaluated in terms of crossing type, culvert type, number of spans and total length. Deficiencies are classified as 'now' needs, 1 - 5 year needs and 6 - 10 year needs for each type of infrastructure.
