The winter weather has finally subsided and construction crews will be out in force in the coming weeks, working on Sudbury's roadways.
Residents will see an investment of $60.2 million to repair and improve the city’s transportation network. Most of the work will include construction, road widening and intersection enhancements.
"Investing in improving and maintaining roads is a key community priority outlined in Council's Strategic Plan and I am proud of the increased investments we have made to improve our roads for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians," said mayor Brian Bigger.
"We thank residents for their patience as work proceeds on ongoing large projects including the Maley Drive Extension and MR35 as well as numerous other infrastructure projects throughout the community."
The city will also invest $35.8 million in water/wastewater infrastructure to extend the service life of our existing pipes, with minimal disruption to the roads, and less water service interruption to residents.
