Middlesex County Road and Bridge Assumption Study Technical Steering Committee - February 2025

The Middlesex County Road and Bridge Assumption Study Technical Steering Committee met on February 4, 2025, to review and discuss potential roads for assumption into the county road network. The meeting focused on evaluating various road sections based on traffic volumes, geographic connectivity, and maintenance considerations. Key roads discussed for potential assumption included Cobble Hills Road, Park House Drive, Whing Line, and sections in North Middlesex, with attention to boundary roads and coordination with neighboring municipalities such as Oxford County and Zora Township. The committee approved moving forward with further consideration of Cobble Hills Road from Dundas Street to Plover Mills Road, Park House Drive from Adelaide Road to Glendon Drive, and Whing Line from Elen Field Road to Grant Line. Additionally, the committee reviewed a list of aging bridges in North Middlesex requiring replacement, with estimated capital costs around $2 million each, and discussed the county's ongoing role in bridge maintenance and rehabilitation. The committee planned to engage with local municipal officials and neighboring counties before reconvening in April 2025 to finalize recommendations. Motions to approve minutes and to receive bridge information were passed during the meeting.
