⚠️ Rail Crossing Advisory: K-Park 

CN Rail has advised that rehabilitation work is planned for the rail crossing into Kennebecasis Park, tentatively scheduled for Monday, September 8. A temporary access route will be built just west of the current crossing to allow residents and traffic to come and go while the work is underway. We appreciate your patience and understanding as this important work is completed. Please reduce speeds in construction areas and observe all signage. Updates will be shared as they become available.

⚠️ Street Line Painting Operations Underway

Posted: July 15, 2025

Rothesay would like to advise that the 2025 Longitudinal Line Painting Program on town streets is underway and will continue over the next week. Motorists may experience traffic interruptions in some areas as needed during the program.

Line painting is a moving operation. There is a paint truck with a buffer truck following behind when the work is taking place. The warning truck is there to provide enough space and time to allow for the paint to dry. If you cross the centerline to pass line painting operations, your vehicle will end up with paint on it. Please be patient and follow the direction of the marking vehicles. Flashing lights and LINE PAINTING – WET PAINT signs are mounted on the back of equipment to warn motorists that line painting is being done.

If you get paint on your vehicle, have it washed immediately. Rothesay assumes no liability for paint damages to vehicles that have crossed wet paint lines or disobeyed the warning signs and vehicles. Thank you for your understanding.


⚠️ Asphalt Resurfacing Project 2025

Posted: June 4, 2025

Expect minor interruptions and single-lane closures; this project will not affect emergency services access. Traffic within the construction area will be reduced to one lane at times during milling operations. Traffic control will be conducted by certified flagging personnel to direct the flow of single-lane traffic through both ends of the immediate work zone where milling operations are taking place. Please plan your travel accordingly, as traffic delays are expected, reduce speeds in construction areas, and observe all signage. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Not all roadways in Rothesay are the responsibility of the Town? Rothesay Road, Hampton Road, Fox Farm Road, South Ridge Road, and Campbell Drive are all provincial roadways and are only paved with grants from the provincial government program. The province publishes a 3-year “Road Ahead Plan” that identifies all provincial roadways that will be resurfaced in the next 3 years, to view the Road Ahead Plan, click here. Rothesay does complete the maintenance on these roadways for the province (repairing potholes, sealing cracks, painting lines, plowing, etc.).
