As the snow melts and temperatures rise, spring brings sunshine, longer days and the annual challenge of road maintenance. As the spring thaw continues, residents may notice common seasonal road conditions such as potholes, soft shoulders, frost heaves, and wet or muddy gravel roads – all signs that spring is officially here.
Town crews are hard at work addressing these issues, with extra resources in place to support the effort.
“Maintaining more than 385 kilometres of road after a long winter is a big job, but it’s one we prepare for every year,” says Brandon Hall, Acting Director of Operations at the Town of Huntsville. “Additional crews and equipment are lined up to help tackle repairs as quickly as possible, ensuring our roads are in the best possible condition for the season ahead.”
Drivers are reminded to adjust to changing road conditions and give crews space as they work. The Town appreciates everyone’s patience and cooperation as road maintenance continues throughout the season.
