Over 58 lane kilometers refurbished in 2023

PRINCE GEORGE— Prince George City Councils’ $6.1 million dollar road budget was used across the municipality last year.

The budget included $1,250,000 to rehabilitate sidewalk as well as $400,000 to build new sidewalks. The work fixed just under four lineal kilometers of sidewalk. However, the most recent pedestrian network survey identifies almost half of the current network is in fair or poor condition.

The longest projects were on Massey Drive with 5.57 kilometers of mill and overlay work done and on Ospika Boulevard with 3.45 kilometres of mill and overlay work completed.

Roadways are prioritized by inspecting the roads every three years and ranking them on a scale.
