The Town of Huntsville operates annual capital road projects as well as road improvement programs.


Capital Projects

A capital project refers to the reconstruction of an asset. These projects are pre-approved through the budget process or are required due to an emergency situation. 

Reconstruction of a capital asset resets its lifecycle and its lifecycle can determine future financial planning.

Capital Projects Include:
  • Road Reconstruction (road base, road surface, curb and gutters, storm sewers, catch basins)
  • Bridge Rehabilitation and Reconstruction
  • Sidewalks/Streetlights/Major Culvert Replacements

Annual Road Maintenance:

  • Huntsville Public Works maintain 400 kms of Town-owned roadways, 30 kms of sidewalks and parking lots throughout the year.  

  • Muskoka Public Works maintain District roadways throughout the year. Check the list of District roads if you are unsure who maintains a road. 

Standards: 

The Town is required to meet the Provincial Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways (MMS). The MMS are standards from the Province of Ontario for road maintenance. Snow and ice are removed within a specified time frame. Standards can vary by road class, speed limit and traffic volume on a roadway. 

Did You Know: The lifecycle of an asphalt road is 10 years and maintenance assists with the longevity of the asset.
