Roads in Need are roads that are structurally inadequate for their current traffic volumes and are more susceptible to damage from frost and water. These roads are unable to be repaired through the Pavement Rehabilitation program, which overlays new pavement on the existing road.

Through the Roads in Need program, the underlying cause of damage is assessed and repair could range from simply strengthening the section of pavement to a complete re-construction. The City established a separate program to deal with improvements to this group of road segments with the goal of addressing all deficient roadways over a ten year period.

This year, the following roads are scheduled to undergo repair as part of the 2024 Roads in Need program:

• Marion Crescent and Manning Street from Maxwell Avenue to Manning Street
• 40 Avenue (northbound) from McBride Crescent to 39 Street
• Barrett Drive from Bower Place east entrance to Bettenson Street
• Alberts Close lanes

Please note that all schedules are dependent on weather and other conditions and may be subject to change.
