Roadway Maintenance and Equipment
The Roadway Maintenance and Equipment group is responsible for the construction and maintenance of 1,600 lane kilometres of roadway.
Maintenance of the road network consists of:
Rehabilitation of Existing Infrastructure Works
Existing infrastructure works include roadways, sidewalks, bicycle networks and bridges.
Inspection of these works is done on a regular basis to identify areas that require rehabilitation and to ensure that the facilities perform adequately for their design life-span.
Roadways are monitored by our Pavement Management System. All City roadways are tested on a continual basis for surface condition, roughness and strength. The system identifies and prioritizes roads that require remedial work.
