Almost two dozen municipalities across Ontario are getting a funding boost to help with road and bridge repairs.
The provincial government announced $30-million in Connecting Links funding this morning, covering 21 communities. The program provides funding for up to 90 per cent of eligible project costs. This includes a maximum of $3 million for road projects and $5 million for bridge projects.
Connecting Links covers municipal roads that connect two ends of a provincial highway through a community or to an international or interprovincial border crossing. In Chatham-Kent, that limits the scope to Grand Avenue and St Clair Street in Chatham, and Dufferin Avenue and McNaughton Avenue in Wallaceburg.
Last year, Chatham-Kent received $3-million for the rehabilitation of Dufferin Avenue.
