The Town of Milton is building a complete community and investing over $32.2 million in roads, bridges and stormwater infrastructure in 2023. While this investment reflects the 2023 approved budget, there are also projects being completed this year that were approved in previous budget years.

This investment in the community helps us put the right infrastructure in place to meet community needs and make Milton a Place of Possibility. 

What to expect this year

This year, residents can expect road closures and lane restrictions on both main arterial roads and side streets. The Town of Milton extensively coordinates the timing of construction projects with Halton Region and the private sector as much as possible.
