Welcome to our new website!
Construction season in Milton is underway. Crews are out on the roads working to build and maintain critical infrastructure for the community. In alignment with provincial regulations, Town-led construction is essential municipal work to ensure Milton’s infrastructure remains safe, in state of good repair and able to meet the community’s needs now and in the future.
Our Transportation Master Plan leverages existing infrastructure and proactively plans for a balanced, multi-modal transportation network to serve the existing community as well as forecast growth in people and jobs to the year 2031 and beyond.
Please bear with us and be patient as we build and maintain a connected and efficient transportation network. Here is information on what you can expect when there is construction in your neighbourhood.
During construction, the public is encouraged to plan travel in advance, consider alternate routes, follow signage and be patient while traveling in and around construction areas. The Town’s contractors deliver notices to properties directly impacted by construction.
While contractors are required to keep sites safe and free of any large debris, construction noise and dust will occur. While this can be an inconvenience, the Town strives to work with our contractors to mitigate impacts to residents.
Whether travelling by foot, car, bike or mobility device, be cautious around construction zones and areas where people are working on or near the road. We ask that you respect all site barricades and signage and do not enter work sites closed to the public.
When approaching a construction zone:
Be sure to treat people working on roads with respect, and be patient if traffic is delayed due to the construction work taking place.
After a project is complete, crew members may return to the site in the weeks following construction to perform cleanup activities and correct any deficiencies (work that was not completed in line with the contract, or work that needs repair) that may have been identified through the final inspection.
All of the Town’s construction contracts have a two year warranty. Inspections take place after and before each winter during this period to identify any work that the contractor may need to fix prior to the warranty expiration. This type of work may include fixing pre-mature cracks in concrete curb, replacing settled sidewalk bays or replacing sod or other landscaping elements.
The Town completes several annual road maintenance and rehabilitation programs to help extend the life of existing roads and reduce the need for larger future repairs.
Asphalt overlay is used to improve road surfaces that remain structurally sound but require rehabilitation to address wear and deterioration.
Program runs from May to fall
Includes asphalt overlay and localized curb and sidewalk replacement
Residents can view roads included in the current year's program through the Town's interactive map and will receive a notice if directly affected
Temporary on-street parking restrictions may be required during certain construction activities
Crack sealing helps preserve roads in good condition by preventing water from entering pavement cracks and damaging the road structure.
Helps extend the life of existing asphalt
Typically completed two to five years before an asphalt overlay project
Expanded asphalt projects are typically completed on rural and industrial roads and involve more substantial rehabilitation work.
Usually includes widening the road shoulder by approximately one metre where feasible
May include ditching and culvert improvements
Rehabilitation methods are determined through geotechnical analysis completed during project design
