The Town of Milton is closing a section of Sixth Line this week to carry out emergency repairs on a culvert. The closure, which runs between Britannia Road and Lower Base Line, begins Monday, April 20 and will remain in effect until Friday, April 24, 2026.
Drivers are advised that there will be no through access at the site of the culvert while work is underway. Local residents and emergency services will still be able to enter the area, though they must follow traffic control measures put in place by the town.
The repair is part of the municipality’s ongoing efforts to maintain its aging infrastructure. As Milton continues to grow, the town invests roughly $49 million to $50 million each year into critical projects, including roads, bridges, and stormwater systems.
For the current year, the municipal 2026 budget has set aside $125.8 million for capital projects. The town, which manages the construction and maintenance of local roads through Engineering Services, is also looking at long-term improvements for this area through a study currently assessing the Sixth Line corridor from Britannia Road to Highway 401.
