Municipality’s 2025 Surface Treatment Program Completed

The Municipality recently concluded projects in the 2025 surface treatment program.

The following roads received grading and surface treatment:

• Rae Road (Ramsay Concession 8 to County Road 29)
• Rae Road (4th Concession Ramsay to 5th Concession Ramsay)
• Dark’s Side Road (Kinburn Side Road to municipal limits)
• 12th Concession South Pakenham (Dark’s Side Road to Kinburn Side Road)

Receiving microsurfacing:

• Townline Road West (Highway 7 to municipal limits)

Surface treatment is used as a budget-friendly way to make rural roads last longer. It involves spraying an asphalt mix onto the road, followed by a layer of aggregate chips. The road is then rolled to embed the chips into the asphalt mix.

Originally, Council approved $852,304.50 for the 2025 surface treatment program on June 3. Coming in under budget, additional funds of $1,328,000 were approved by Council on June 17, for a total investment of over $2.1 million in upgrades this year.
