Highway 148 Project
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process for road improvements and works for Highway 148 from approximately 200m west of Angus Campbell Drive in the City of Pembroke through Laurentian Valley on sections also known as Pembroke Street East, to approximately 300m east of the Greenwood Road Intersection where Highway 148 extends toward Quebec. Road improvement and works on Highway 148 are now underway.
It is important for abutting property owners, business owners and users of the road to keep themselves informed on what is proposed including: additional property requirements; proposed construction plan; extent of limited night work; and potential construction timing schedule.
