County Road Network

The Public Works Department is responsible for the upkeep of the County Road System, which includes almost 650 km of roadway, and over 190 bridges and major culverts. The Department ensures that the County Road Network is constructed and maintained in accordance with established industry standards such that our users can travel safely and in an efficient manner. Construction projects may include road reconstruction, paving operations, bridge replacement, etc. Maintenance activities may include grading shoulders, preventative maintenance treatments, trimming trees, winter control/snow removal, etc.  Click here for information regarding the County Mailbox Policy within County owned road allowances.

The Public Works Department also protects the County's interests by reviewing various applications for permits with respect to the following:

• establishing entrances onto County roads.
• erecting signs within County owned road allowances
• the moving of overweight and overdimensional loads on the County Road Network
• the construction of private pipelines within County owned road allowances

The County of Lambton's Adopt a County Road program has been established as a public service for participants to pick-up litter along sections of County Roads. It is a way for environmentally conscious citizens and groups to make a personal contribution to a cleaner environment.  Under the program, groups or individuals agree to adopt a section of  County Road and keep it clean.  In addition to a cleaner environment, the participant(s) are recognized by having a sign erected acknowledging their commitment and effort.
