Maitland City Talk

The city of Maitland Public Works Department is implementing a road-resurfacing project to mill and repave select roads throughout the city.

A contractor will perform all roadwork during business hours from Monday, Aug. 19, through Friday, Aug. 29, excluding weekends.

The contractor, Middlesex Co., will provide notices to residents, place variable message boards, and execute a maintenance-of-traffic plan.

Throughout the process, lane closures are expected. Road closures are not anticipated at this time; however, if road closures become necessary, a detour will be set up with appropriate signage.

The following roads will be resurfaced from Aug. 19 through Aug. 22 (subject to change due to weather):

1) Geronimo Trail (from Thistle Lane to Mohican Trail)

2) Native Court (from Tuscarora Trail to Cul-de-Sac)

3) Chippewa Trail (from Thunder Trail to Kewannee Trail)

4) Chanute Trail (from Thunder Trail to Kewannee Trail)

5) Chinook Trail (from Thunder Trail to Kewannee Trail; from Ponca Trail to Kewannee Trail; and from Tuscarora Trail to Nicoma Trail)

6) Big Bend Trail (from Thunder Trail to Kewannee Trail)

7) Mohawk Trail (from Thunder Trail to Kewannee Trail and from Ponca Trail to Kewannee Trail)

8) Saginaw Trail (from Thunder Trail to Kewannee Trail)

9) Huron Trail (from Tuscarora Trail to Ponca Trail, and from Tuscarora Trail to Nicoma Trail)

10) Macbeth Trail (from McGregor Way to Kewannee Trail)

The following roads will be resurfaced from Aug. 25 through Aug. 29 (subject to change due to weather):

1) Druid Isle Road (from Southview Road to Cul-de-Sac)

2) Rogers Avenue (from Wymore Road to Gabriel Street)

4) Summerland Avenue (from Columbia Drive to Cul-de-Sac)

Preventive maintenance activities, such as milling and repaving roads, prolong the life of the pavement structure.
