Mississippi Mills launches road maintenance program across multiple communities

Road improvement work is set to get underway across Mississippi Mills this week as the municipality begins its annual microsurfacing program aimed at extending the life of local roads and improving driving conditions.

In a release issued on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, municipal officials announced that Miller Paving Limited will begin work on Wednesday, Jun. 17, with crews expected to spend approximately two weeks applying microsurfacing treatments to a dozen of roads throughout Almonte, Ramsay and Pakenham wards.

According to municipal officials, the preventative maintenance program is designed to restore road surface quality, protect existing pavement and help delay the need for more costly large-scale reconstruction projects in the future.

The program will begin in Almonte before moving into Ramsay and Pakenham, with construction taking place through a rolling operation that allows crews to move from one location to the next as work progresses.

Roads scheduled for treatment over the next two weeks include:

• 10th Concession Pakenham – from Waba Road to Barr Side Road
• Barr Side Road – from 10th Concession Pakenham to Waba Road
• Gore Street – from Spring Street to the dead end
• Tait McKenzie Drive – from King Street to Thoburn Street
• Thoburn Street – from Tait McKenzie Drive to Dr. Bach Street
• Vaughan Street – from Jamieson Street to Thoburn Street
• Rae Road – from Ramsay Concession 6B to Ramsay Concession 7A
• Ottawa Street – from Industrial Drive to Ramsay Concession 11A
• MacFarlane Street – from Jeanie Street to Jessie Street
• Margaret Street – from the dead end to Jessie Street
• Perth Street – from King Street to Bridge Street

Residents living along affected roads are being advised to avoid parking in front of their driveways while crews are working nearby to ensure construction can proceed safely and efficiently.

The municipality notes that motorists may notice the road surface feels slightly different immediately following treatment. As the material cures over the coming weeks, regular vehicle traffic helps compact and smooth the surface.

Notices are being delivered directly to affected residents to provide additional information about the project and anticipated timelines.

Municipal officials say the work represents a proactive investment in local infrastructure, helping to preserve road conditions while reducing long-term maintenance costs for taxpayers.
