The City of Owen Sound is giving drivers a heads up that road resurfacing, which was scheduled to begin last month, will now get underway by the end of this week.
Sixteen roads are slated for resurfacing. The work will include adjustments to underground infrastructure, milling of existing pavement, installation of new hot mix asphalt, drainage improvements, and new pavement markings
"While every effort will be made to minimize inconvenience, temporary traffic disruptions are expected throughout the duration of the project, the city said in a statement. "Residents living on affected streets are asked to avoid on-street parking during construction, as parked vehicles can delay progress and limit access for crews."
The city added that road conditions will continue to be assessed throughout the construction season and that the public will be updated if any other sections of roadway are added to the list for this year.
The following are the roadways scheduled for work under the 2026 Road Resurfacing Program:
· 4th Street East from 4th Avenue East to 5th Avenue East
