Construction is set to begin on two county roads starting May 5 that may involve single lane closures and speed reductions.

G. Tackaberry and Sons Construction Company Limited is scheduled to begin rehabilitation work on County Road 10 (Scotch Line Road) from Glen Tay Road to Otty Lake Side Road for a distance of 2.5 km from May 5 to mid-June.

Lanark County Public Works indicates work will begin with drainage improvements, including culvert replacements, followed by pulverizing, the construction of a left-turn lane at Glen Tay Road, adding granular material and paving with warm-mix asphalt. Single lane closures will be in place during working hours to facilitate construction work.

Thomas Cavanagh Construction Company Limited is scheduled to begin rehabilitation work on County Road 511 (Highway 511) from 3 km north of Tatlock Road northerly for a distance of 3.4 km from May 5 to early August.

This work will begin with drainage improvements, including culvert replacements and rock breaking, followed by pulverizing, adding granular material and paving with warm-mix asphalt.  Single lane closures and speed reductions will be in place to facilitate safe construction work.

“This investment in our roads is part of our ongoing commitment to public safety and responsible infrastructure management,” said Public Works Manager Sam Poole, adding that the county appreciates the public’s patience during the construction period.

The county urges all drivers to exercise caution in work zones and to follow posted signage for their safety and the safety of construction crews.
