2024 Asphalting work

Apr 23, 2024

During the public meeting of April 23, 2024, City of Edmundston's municipal council signed an agreement with Northern Construction Inc., mandated to carry out the repair of certain municipal public roads. The agreement is renewable annually until 2026. The funds were planned in the general capital fund and through the federal government's integrated bilateral agreement.

Between June and October 2024, note that the following sections of streets will be asphalted:

• Pouvoir Road (between Martin St. and Victoria St.)
• Des Lavoie Road (between #265 & #300)
• Gabourie Road (between St-François St. & #56)
• Chip Seal on Chemins Mgr-Lang and Rang 3 (between #300 and the municipal limit)
• Mont-Farlagne Road (between ramp #13A and Centre plein-air Mont-Farlagne)
• Acadie Boulevard (between the CN bridge and the Madawaska River bridge/between Roy Avenue & Jessome Avenue)
• Cyr St. (between Davis Road and #3)
• Roland St. (between St-François St. & #22)
• Morin Avenue (between Carrier St. & Dionne St.)
• Dionne St. (between Morin Avenue & Du Pouvoir Road)
• 47th Avenue (between Mgr-Numa Pichette Boulevard and Victoria St.)

The total estimate for the repair of municipal streets amounts to $2,100,000 for 2024, a year for which the NB Department of Transportation and Infrastructure is not providing any funding for the repair of designated roads within the limits of the municipality.

It is important to note that the continued increase in fuel costs is significantly impacting paving plans and that the construction schedule remains tentative, due to weather conditions.

Asphalt repair and maintenance work will also be carried out on other municipal streets. Businesses and residences will be accessible during the duration of the work. The City of Edmundston reminds motorists to be careful while crews carry out paving work on municipal public roads.
