Project Highlights
Council approved funding for upgrades to Township Road 544 from Highway 2 to Elliot Street (ProNorth Industrial Park) in 2021.
Township Road 544 will be upgraded to a finished 9 m wide paved surface for a length of 4.1 km. This is the main access to ProNorth Industrial Park. Currently, the roadway is subject to road bans, and these will no longer be required once reconstruction is complete. Approximately 1 km of Geocell technology will be utilized and monitored with the use of subgrade pressure plates adjacent to ProNorth Industrial Park. Bridge File Reconstruction and milling of existing asphalt was completed in Fall 2021 to advance reconstruction in 2022.
The project includes:
- Grading
- Granular base course
- Asphalt concrete pavement
- Drainage improvements
Construction is scheduled for completion in 2022.
What to expect
- Advanced project signage
