The Regional Municipality of Durham's Works Department plans, designs, builds and maintains the Regional Road Network. This includes bridges, storm sewers, traffic signals, signs, pavements marking and guiderails on Regional roads.

We also work with storm sewers, traffic signals, signs and guiderails.

View the roads we maintain

Road network planning

We plan the road network according to the Transportation Master Plan. This plan forecasts our transportation needs over many years. It includes your input and other Regional strategies for cycling, carpooling and transit. 

Transportation Master Plan

Road construction projects

Road construction projects are undertaken to address road conditions and to expand the capacity of the Regional road network. These projects appear on the Public Works Projects Map.

Road safety review and planning

Road safety review and planning is another important part of the work we do. We want to make sure our transportation system is safe.

Road maintenance

Maintenance of the road network includes:

  • Maintaining the road, such as repairing potholes and cracks, line painting, and other construction projects.
  • Responding to winter conditions.
  • Maintaining road sides and ditches.
  • Installing and maintaining traffic signals and Accessible Pedestrian Crossings.
