Road Infrastructure Improvements Coming in September
We are pleased to announce two important road infrastructure projects that will take place this fall to help improve and maintain transportation infrastructure within our community.
Route 109 / Route 105 Intersection Retaining Wall Rehabilitation
Beginning September 14, 2026, work undertaken by the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will commence at the Route 109 / Route 105 intersection at the upper end of Perth.
During construction, the area will be reduced to one lane of traffic and is expected to remain in place until late fall 2026. Motorists should anticipate minor delays and are encouraged to use caution when travelling through the work zone.
This work is essential to preserving the integrity of the roadway and ensuring the long-term safety and reliability of this important intersection.
East Riverside Drive Paving Project
A second infrastructure improvement project will involve the paving of approximately one kilometer of East Riverside Drive, extending from the Public Library to beyond the Hospital.
The contract has been awarded to Northern Construction, with paving scheduled to take place between September 21 and September 30, 2026.
This resurfacing work will improve driving conditions, extend the life of the roadway, and enhance access for residents and visitors alike.
Thank You for Your Patience
We appreciate the public's patience and cooperation while these important improvements are underway. These investments will help maintain safe, reliable transportation infrastructure and support our community's continued growth and development.
Keeping Our Road Workers Safe
As construction activity increases this fall, we remind all motorists to exercise extra caution when travelling through work zones. Road construction workers perform their duties in close proximity to moving traffic, and their safety depends on drivers remaining alert, obeying posted speed limits, following traffic control personnel and signage, and allowing extra space around work areas. Slowing down and staying attentive helps protect workers, fellow motorists, and everyone using our roads.
