The 2024 crack sealing program is now complete. 

The following roads are scheduled to receive asphalt paving and the addition of bike lanes for enhanced active transportation opportunities in the summer and fall of 2024:

Foxboro-Stirling Road 

Foxboro-Stirling Road from Oak Lake Road to Marsh Hill Road is currently being pulverized and repaved. The road surface is being widened with the addition of bike lanes, and line painting will be completed towards the end of the project. Construction was completed in September of 2024.

Wallbridge-Loyalist Road

In addition to road resurfacing, multiple drainage structures, sidewalks and curbs will repaired or replaced as necessary. Line painting will follow the completion of asphalt paving. Work was completed in September of 2024.

The City’s annual pavement marking and line painting program repaints centrelines, stop bars and other pavement markings throughout Quinte West that fade during the winter and due to general wear from traffic. 

Line painting typically begins in late spring and lasts until the end of October. 

Motorists can expect minor traffic delays in working zones. If you encounter line painting, please give crews and equipment space to help keep everyone safe.  

The City is in the design phase for the urbanization of 2nd Dug Hill Road.

Crack sealing is the process of filling individual pavement cracks with an adhesive sealant to prevent entry of water or substances such as sand, dirt, rocks or weeds. 

The following roads will undergo crack sealing treatment throughout the summer of 2023: 

  • Highway 2 (from 282 Dundas St. E to Quinte View Drive)
  • Riverside Parkway (from River Drive and Hannah Lane)
  • RCAF Road (from Dundas Street East to Westwin Avenue)
  • Front Street (from Dundas Street East to Dixon Drive)

  • Telephone Road (from Byrne Avenue to Stockdale Road)
  • Hamilton Road (from Whites Road to 414 Hamilton Rd.)

Line painting will occur on roads throughout Quinte West in the summer of 2023.

Line painting on roads is an important highway safety feature that provides guidance to drivers and pedestrians. It includes lane lines, edge lines, centre lines and crosswalks.

Line painting is a moving operation. Flashing lights and signs are mounted on the back of equipment to warn motorists that line painting is being done.

Line painting tips for motorists

  • Slow down – line painting vehicles travel slowly so please slow down, stay alert and be patient when warned of work ahead
  • Keep back – stay at least 8 to 10 car lengths behind line painting equipment to avoid running over wet paint
  • Don’t pass – never pass a paint truck unless instructed to do so by a police officer; the paint truck will pull over to allow cars to pass when conditions are safe to do so

The City of Quinte West has many roads that have a ‘tar and chip’ surface treatment. This surface treatment method is also known as ‘chip seal.’ It is used on rural roads with low to medium volumes of traffic as a more cost-effective and durable alternative to asphalt paving. Tar and chip roads get resurfaced approximately every 7-10 years.

Learn more about the rural surface treatment process here.

The following roads are scheduled to receive surface treatment in the summer of 2023: 

  • McMaster Road (from English Settlement Road to Powerline Road)
  • Powerline Road (from Stoney Point Road to Bigford Road)
  • Settlement Road (from Paul Street to County Road 40)
  • Teal Road (from Jarvis Road to County Road 40)
  • Germans Landing Road
  • Crowe Road (from Hearns Road to Deer Run Road)
  • Maybee Road (from Thompson Road to Stockdale Road)
  • Aikins Road (from CN railroad tracks to CP tracks)
  • Rose Road (from Harrington Road to Frankford Road)
  • Wickens Road (from Mapleview Road to Zion Road)

Bridge and culvert projects

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.
