Summer Road Work Underway on Two Rural Milton Roads as Town Launches 2026 Expanded Asphalt Program

Drivers in rural north Milton should plan for lane closures and delays this summer as the Town of Milton carries out its 2026 Expanded Asphalt Program on two rural roads, with work running from mid-June into the fall.

What Happened

The Town of Milton says the program targets sections of First Line Nassagaweya and No. 2 Side Road. On First Line Nassagaweya, work covers the stretch from about 140 metres northwest of 15 Side Road to 20 Side Road. On No. 2 Side Road, the work runs between Bell School Line and Tremaine Road.

According to the Town, the project includes a range of improvements: road reconstruction, shoulder enhancements, driveway transitions, and the cleaning, rehabilitation and replacement of road-crossing culverts. The goal is to improve road conditions and extend the lifespan of existing infrastructure.

Key Details

• Roads affected: First Line Nassagaweya (about 140 m northwest of 15 Side Road to 20 Side Road) and No. 2 Side Road (Bell School Line to Tremaine Road).

• Work includes road reconstruction, shoulder enhancements, driveway transitions and culvert cleaning, rehabilitation and replacement.

• Single-lane closures will be in place daily throughout the project.

• Timeline: construction is expected to run from mid-June through the fall.

• Motorists should expect delays, follow posted signage and consider alternate routes where possible.

Community Impact

Rural roads like First Line Nassagaweya and No. 2 Side Road serve farms, commuters and through-traffic across north Milton and the Nassagaweya area. While the daily lane closures will mean slower trips through the summer, the reconstruction and culvert work are aimed at keeping these routes safe and usable for years to come and reducing the need for repeated emergency repairs.

Background

The Expanded Asphalt Program is part of the Town's ongoing road rehabilitation efforts, which also include other 2026 construction projects across Milton. Residents who live or drive in the affected areas are encouraged to watch for updated signage as work progresses.
