PICTON, ONT. — One of the Canadian Automobile Association’s (CAA) worst roads in Ontario is getting a much-needed boost.
The Ontario government has announced it is providing up to $45 million for the rehabilitation of County Road 49 between Picton and the Bay of Quinte Skyway Bridge, supporting the repair and upgrade of 18.4 kilometres of roadway.
The project will include repaving the road surface, new culverts and guiderail improvements.
Last year, County Road 49 was ranked the third-worst road in Ontario in a CAA survey.
The Municipality of Prince Edward County is contributing $7.8 million from their capital budget for rehabilitation efforts.
