Northumberland County is committed to maintaining our roads and bridges to ensure safety of drivers and pedestrians.

Road construction and paving projects

Each year, we identify County roads and bridges that need maintenance. Please see the list or map below for information about paving and construction projects scheduled for the 2022 construction season. Please expect delays or road closures in these areas during their proposed construction schedule.

Tips for driving in construction zones

Driving safely through construction zones can help protect our loved ones at work on construction sites. Follow these safety tips while driving through a construction zone to keep everyone safe: 

• Go slow in the zone – speed limits are often lowered in construction zones to keep workers safe around traffic and keep drivers safe from possible hazards
• Stay alert and proceed with caution
• Pay close attention to work zone flaggers and directional signs and/or devices
• Keep a safe distance behind the car in front of you
• Keep up with the traffic flow
• Do not change lanes in construction zones
• Avoid distracted driving including changing radio stations or using mobile phones
• Keep an eye on workers and their equipment
• Be patient – work zones are necessary to improve our roads and make them safer
