Update - County Road 44 Road Closure New End Date - November 22, 2024

The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville have contracted Willis Kerr Contracting Ltd. for the replacement of the Glen Smail box culvert on County Road 44.

This important infrastructure work began at the end of September and was originally scheduled to take about eight weeks. While we initially hoped to speed things up, we encountered some unexpected challenges during construction, which caused a delay.

This is not a small culvert; it’s a substantial structure with openings measuring 8.4 meters by 2.1 meters, and we have used over 400 tonnes of concrete so far. Our crews are working hard, and we’re pleased to report that the project is now progressing as planned.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we work to make County Road 44 safer and more resilient. The current timeline has the road reopening on November 22.

Thank you for your continued cooperation!
