RELEASE DATE:
May 25, 2023
The County of Renfrew’s Capital Works Plan is well underway for 2023! The Department of Public Works and Engineering plans to rehabilitate or reconstruct approximately 49 kilometres of County Roads and has work scheduled on 10 County Structures. Hardened shoulders will be added to approximately 30 kilometres of the roads undergoing construction in 2023.
The County maintains a 10-year Asset Management Plan (AMP) that is reviewed annually based on recent condition assessments. The AMP is used to plan the capital projects required to maintain the 816 kilometres of roads and 252 bridges and large culverts (Structures) under the County’s responsibility.
The total capital budget for County Roads and Structures in 2023 is $31 million; with $2.6 million contributed from the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) and $2.9million contributed from the Canadian Community Building Fund (CCBF), formerly known as the Gas Tax Fund.
Rising construction costs continue to receive careful consideration as projects are designed. County staff continues to make efforts to reduce construction costs, without reducing the high level of service that should be expected of rehabilitated County Roads and Structures.
