Grey County Announces 2026 Road Construction Projects Kickoff
Grey County has outlined its 2026 road construction season, with projects across the region bringing lane closures, detours, and delays for drivers.
Grey County has released details of its 2026 road construction season, with projects planned across the region that will affect travel from May through October.
The county says it is investing millions of dollars into its road network through resurfacing, reconstruction, bridge rehabilitation, and surface repairs. Most project tenders have closed, and schedules are now taking shape, though timelines may change depending on weather and other factors.
Several major road projects are scheduled for the construction season. On Grey Road 2 in Grey Highlands, a 3.5-kilometre stretch from just north of Wellington Street in Feversham to Grey Road 31 will be pulverized and paved between May and the end of June. Traffic will be maintained through intermittent alternating lane closures with traffic control.
Following that work, Grey County bridge crews are expected to complete a deck rehabilitation on the Feversham Bridge beginning in July. The project is expected to take approximately eight weeks and will require single-lane traffic controlled by temporary signals.
On Grey Road 3 in West Grey, a 4.9-kilometre section from about one kilometre north of Concession 16 to Grey Road 4 will be resurfaced between June and mid-August, with intermittent lane closures in place.
In Dundalk, a major reconstruction project on Grey Road 9 (Main Street) will run from mid-May to mid-October. The work will cover approximately 950 metres between Ida Street and Proton Street and is being completed in partnership with the Township of Southgate. This project will require a full road closure with signed detour routes.
Two projects are also planned for Grey Road 12. In West Grey, a rural section near Waudby will undergo localized full-depth reconstruction and paving from mid-May to mid-July, with traffic maintained through lane closures. In Markdale, an urban section will be fully reconstructed from just west of Terra Drive to Wellington Street, though timing and further details are expected to be confirmed later this spring.
On Grey Road 14, a section from south of Southgate Sideroad 3 to Southgate Sideroad 11 will be pulverized and paved from mid-June to mid-August, with intermittent lane closures.
A planned pulverize-and-pave project on Grey Road 30, from Lower Valley Road to Grey Road 13 in Grey Highlands, is still in the tendering stage. Project timing and cost will be confirmed once the contract is awarded.
Several structure replacement projects are also scheduled and will require full road closures with local traffic access only. These include work on Grey Road 40 between Concession 3A and Perdue Road, the Euphrasia-St. Vincent Townline, Concession 2 at Chatsworth Road 24, and the Normanby-Bentinck Townline.
Grey County is advising motorists to plan routes in advance, allow extra travel time, and follow posted signage and directions from traffic control personnel when travelling through construction zones.
Up-to-date information, including road closures and project details, will be available through the county’s Municipal 511 mapping tool at roads.grey.ca. The county notes that its infrastructure planning is guided by an asset management approach that considers road condition and expected lifespan when prioritizing projects.
