Design and construction
Learn about the process, environmental assessments and funding that support local road construction projects.
Process details |
The Town is responsible for the design and construction of all municipal roads, bridges and culverts. The process may require two or more years.
Due to the scope or scale of any individual project, timelines and steps may vary. For example, not all projects will include a Project Initiation Meeting or Public Information Centre. |
Environmental assessments |
The Town currently has one ongoing Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, the Boyne Active Transportation Link. An environmental assessment first step in all of our capital road projects. The project schedule (or type) according to the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process is determined. The MCEA has five phases:
|
Funding |
The Canada Community-Building Fund is money the federal government gives to municipalities twice a year to support local infrastructure. Local road construction projects partly funded by the Canada Community-Building Fund include:

Road construction definitions
Asphalt overlay |
The process of replacing existing deteriorated asphalt surfaces with new. It also involves replacing portions of curb and rebuilding catch basins and manholes. |
Expanded asphalt |
Rehabilitation (usually limited to rural or industrial roads) of the road structure, which may include removal of asphalt, pulverizing of asphalt and granular material, and repaving with new asphalt, or utilizing asphalt recycling methods, depending on the particular road. Also includes the installation of paved shoulders where feasible, and minor/localized ditch work and cross culvert replacements or repair. |
Reconstruction and improvements |
The process of reconstructing an existing substandard road to current standards. |
Reconstruction/replacement |
The process of completely rebuilding a road. This includes all the underground infrastructure and replacement of the road structure. |
Surface treatment |
Surface treatment is the application of an asphalt based emulsion binder and a granular based wearing surface. The process waterproofs the roadway and eliminates grading and dusting of gravel rural roads. |
Urbanization |
Urbanization is the improvement of a road with ditches to a road with curb and gutter, drained by storm sewers. |
