TOWN LINE ROAD UPDATE

Residents may have noted some preliminary road work on the south/west portion of Town Line Road which is being prepared for resurfacing in 2027.  To date, the road has been pulverized and graded from Hwy 17 to Mill Road.  Ditching will also be completed before winter.   The gravel will be maintained regularly, and will remain in place until the contractors begin resurfacing in the summer of 2027.  A precise date for that work to begin is unknown as it is dependent on the contractor’s availability and schedule.  This preparatory work is being done so that the material has a chance to settle before it is resurfaced in the summer of 2027. Council and staff thank everyone for their patience while the material settles, and we await the upgrades to occur next summer.
