Single surface treatment is a preventative maintenance tool that preserves and reinforces existing surface treated roads to extend their life expectancy. Even though roads may appear to be in good shape, the County is trying to get a few more years out of these roads before they fully deteriorate and need to be reconstructed.
Full reconstruction is extremely costly. It costs approximately $35,000 per kilometre for single surface treatment, while full reconstruction of the same kilometre would cost approximately $155,000. To learn more about single surface treatment and why this work is necessary, please see the single surface treatment FAQ section on the County’s website.
The County is executing a robust single surface treatment program in 2023 as part of the five-year capital plan presented at 2023 Capital Budget discussions. The majority of work in 2023 is focused on preventative maintenance, which also includes an upcoming micro-surfacing program.
