Title: Old School Road - Hurontario to Dixie
Post by: JasonGRoth on September 04, 2021, 07:49:42 PM
Old School Road to be closed from Hurontario to Dixie from Sept 6 2021 to August 31 2022.

More details  https://www.caledon.ca/en/news/old-school-road-reconstruction.aspx (https://www.caledon.ca/en/news/old-school-road-reconstruction.aspx)

Can someone help me understand why it takes 12 months for reconstruction of 4.5km of an existing roadway?

"To improve road safety, stormwater drainage and to extend the life of the pavement surface"

That might be code for improving/widening Old School Road in preparation to handle construction equipment for hwy 413 construction, and/or anticipated residential and commercial development as a result of its construction.

Or why they do random sections of Old School at a time rather than just fix the road properly!!  🥲
