Mississippi Mills, Ontario, has finished its 2026 summer road resurfacing program, with crews completing work on 13 local streets across Almonte, Pakenham, and Ramsay on July 22. The municipality confirmed the $616,940 contract, awarded to Miller Paving Limited, was delivered on time and within budget.
The microsurfacing treatment is a preventative step that extends road life by adding a new surface layer. It seals small cracks, keeps water out, and improves grip for drivers. This year’s work covered a mix of urban and rural roads, including Gore Street, Ottawa Street, and Ramsay Concession 8.
Microsurfacing is part of a bigger push to maintain the town’s 360 kilometres of roads. The road network makes up 39 percent of Mississippi Mills’s core infrastructure, which has an estimated replacement cost of $316.8 million. The 2026 municipal budget set aside over $7.4 million for roads and public works, with $2.78 million of that going toward hard surface renewals like this project.
Residents may remember similar programs in past years. In 2023, the budget included $104,000 for microsurfacing and rehabilitation, and in 2025, the municipality used a different contractor for surface treatments on rural roads. These annual efforts are part of a long-term strategy to keep roads in good shape.
Miller Paving Limited, part of the Markham-based Miller Group, has been paving Ontario roads for over 60 years and operates more than 20 asphalt plants across the province. The company handled the 2026 microsurfacing contract for Mississippi Mills, which treated roads in all three wards.
