Sections of the following rural roads throughout Quinte West will receive surface treatment in 2026 as part of the City’s annual rural surface treatment program:
- Apple Road – Full length
- Baptist Church Road – Two patches
- Carmel Road – Fairground Road west for 1.2 km

Rural surface treatment is a cost-effective solution that helps make roads smoother, safer and more durable while preventing potholes and erosion. Motorists can expect delays while work is underway.
The existing sidewalks will be replaced on:
- Dundas Street West from Fourth Avenue to Hastings Drive (north side)
- Dundas Street West from Farley Crescent to Tripp Boulevard (south side)
This project will replace the current asphalt and concrete with extra-wide concrete sidewalks.
Anticipated timeline

Crack sealing is the process of applying an adhesive sealant to small cracks in paved roads to prevent the entry of water or substances such as sand, dirt, rocks or weeds.
The following stretches of road will receive crack sealing in 2026:
- 2nd Dug Hill Road from WalMart to 691 2nd Dug Hill Road, and 720 2nd Dug Hill Road to Telephone Road
- Ashwood Crescent
- Bellyou Lane from Gearin Street to Belvedere Road
- Belvedere Road from Fifth Avenue to Bellyou Lane
- County Road 40 from Jarvis Road to Old Wooler Road, Downs Road to Gunter Settlement Road, Fitzgerald Road to Deerfield Drive, and Gunter Settlement Road to Murray Street
- Duncan Street from Stonegate Crescent to Belleville Street
- Dundas Street East from Ontario to Bay Street, Bay Street to South Street, and Herman Street to Flindall Street
- Forest Valley Drive from Cedar Creek Way to Stonegate Crescent
- Glenwood Street from Cedarwood Street to the end of Glenwood Street
- Highway 2 from approximately Short Street to Stoney Point Road

- McAuley Drive from Fourth Avenue to 46 McAuley Avenue
- Nicholas Street from Water Street to Mayhew Drive
- Stonegate Crescent from Riverside Parkway to Duncan Street, and Duncan Street to the end of Stonegate Crescent
This is a long-term pavement preservation solution that helps extend the life of asphalt and is more cost-effective and less disruptive than road replacement or reconstruction.
Crack sealing begins Wednesday, June 17, 2026.
Trenton-Frankford Road – Trenton-Frankford Road from the 401 on/off ramp north to Mill Street/County Road 5 will receive microsurface treatment beginning the week of June 8. Motorists can expect traffic delays while work is completed until June 19.
Microsurfacing is a cost-effective pavement preservation technique that uses a mixture of asphalt, aggregate, mineral fillers, additives and water to extend the life of asphalt roads.
Water and/or sewer replacements
Identified in the Water and Wastewater Master Plan, this project includes the upsizing of the existing wastewater pipe at the intersection of North Trent Street and Huffman to allow for future development in the northwest area of Frankford.
New water main and sewer piping is required in the area of Victoria Street (west of Scott Avenue) in Frankford, due to the age and condition of the existing piping. This project will improve water quality and reliability, and support new housing development in the area.
Bridge and culvert projects
The existing culvert on 2nd Dug Hill Road between Telephone Road and Birchmount Street will be replaced in 2026.
Construction is expected to begin in summer 2026.
The Front Street bridge between Wall Street and Bridge Street in Trenton will be replaced in 2026. A bridge plate will be installed, providing a long-term, cost-effective replacement option.
Construction is expected in the fall of 2026.
A bridge inspection has identified the deterioration of expansion joints on the Frankford canal bridge. The joints on this bridge will be replaced to maintain its safety and extend its lifespan.
The City is currently reviewing engineering proposals to complete the design work for the bridge rehabilitation.
Detail design is underway, to be completed in winter of 2025.
Temporary traffic disruptions in the area are expected during construction.
The City is exploring options for prefabricated, modular bridges for Hill Road. Hill Road Bridge was replaced with a prefabricated steel bridge in October of 2024.
The Wooler Road CNR/CPR Overpass is located in Murray ward within the City of Quinte West. The bridge crosses over both the Canadian National Railway (CNR) and the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) at approximately 2.3 km south of Highway 401 and 950 m north of Highway 2.
It was recently determined that the bridge requires rehabilitation and/or replacement.
The City of Quinte West completed an environmental assessment study in 2022 to identify and evaluate solutions to address the aging infrastructure and accommodate future growth.
The City replaced the existing deteriorated 900mm culvert with a new 3 metre concrete box culvert. The replacement was completed from Aug. 6-9, 2024. The new culvert will accommodate additional residential development in the west end of Trenton.
Parks and trails
The Frankford baseball diamond will be updated in 2026, as recommended by the City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan, to ensure it remains a safe, accessible recreation space for the community. This project includes upgrades to the turf, fencing, dugouts, bleachers and scoreboard.
A new playstructure and updated ground surface are planned for Hartt’s Corners Park, located off Fairlawn Road in Murray ward.
A new accessible playground will be installed in the Hillside Meadows subdivision in Murray ward. Local residents will be asked for input on preferred playground options through a community engagement survey.
The asphalt pathway between Stella Crescent and the corner of Byron Street and Dixon Street will be repaired in 2026. This project was recommended in the City’s Asset Management Plan.
The list and status of construction projects scheduled for 2026 may change without notice.
