Spring road maintenance has begun with street sweeping and pothole repair underway

April 23, 2026 (Huntsville, ON)- As we head into warmer days and begin cleaning up after a long winter and spring flooding, the Town's annual road maintenance has begun. 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.  

Regular maintenance activities have begun, and residents can expect to see Public Works crews filling potholes and conducting street sweeping activities over the coming weeks.  Town crews are hard at work addressing these issues, with extra resources in place to support the effort.   

The Town asks for and appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as this maintenance is underway. We understand this can be an inconvenience at times however it is an important part of maintaining the streets and roads we all travel on. 

“We’ve experienced a long hard winter and tough spring. We have more than 385 kilometres of roads to maintain, and while some years are more challenging than others, we prepare for this work every year,” says Randy Bissonette, Director of Operations at the Town of Huntsville. “Additional crews and equipment are ready to help tackle repairs as quickly as possible, ensuring our roads are in the best possible condition for the season ahead.”  

Motorists are reminded to adjust to changing road conditions and give crews space as they work hard to get Huntsville’s roads cleaned up.
