The township of Arundel is undertaking major roadwork on Rouge Road as of
September 16, for a distance of three (3) kilometers from the border of the township of
Harrington. The project is expected to last for less than two months and will involve
foundation improvements, gravel resurfacing, and drainage improvements. Some tree and
brush pruning at certain locations will be required to improve safety. Please note that works
on the balance of the road are expected next year.
Rouge Road will not be closed during the construction period, but some areas will
be accessible to vehicles in alternating directions, controlled by flag persons or temporary
traffic signals. Residents should expect temporary delays and reduced speed limits in the
work zone. We advise motorists and cyclists to use alternative routes if possible, and to
follow the signs and directions of the workers on site.
The township is committed to ensuring that homeowners along Rouge Road will
have access to their entrances throughout the construction period. However, there may be
times when the entrance is temporarily blocked or restricted due to the work activities. In
such cases, the contractor will notify the homeowners in advance and provide alternative
access arrangements.
For more information, please contact the town hall at telephone number 819-681-3390 or
by email info@arundel.ca. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this
project.
