Consultation has concluded

We are rehabilitating select rural roads across the city.

The purpose of this project is to conduct rehabilitation on select rural roads to improve the pavement quality and condition and extend and maximize the useful life of rural roads.

Background

Whitehorse has over 70 kilometres of Bitumen Surface Treatment (BST) roadways. Scheduled preventative maintenance helps the City of Whitehorse avoid costly reactive maintenance costs.

Bitumen Surface Treatments are widely used to increase the longevity of the city’s roads. BST is a cost-effective hard surfacing solution for many rural roads in Whitehorse.

In 2022, Council approved the Rural Roads Surfacing 2022 program. The proposed program includes the following:

  • Ripping
  • Shaping
  • Ditching
  • Application of bitumen surface treatment (BST)
  • Rolling
  • Street sweeping

The proposed upgrades will improve the City's transportation network by:

  • Extending the useful life of the City's road infrastructure
  • Improve the pavement condition and quality

What we're asking now:

This phase of engagement focuses on sharing information about the project.

How to get involved:

Our promise to you:

We will keep you informed.

    Can we pave heavily used roads instead of resurfacing twice a year? Chadburn Lake road is seeing more traffic.

    James Paterson asked over 2 years ago

    Hi James Paterson,

    Thank you for the question.

    Chadburn Lake Road is not within the scope of our program for this year but could be considered for future years depending on budgeting priorities.

    Please watch for engagement opportunities as part of the City's annual capital and operations budget process.
