Did You Know?

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 provinical roadways and are only paved with grants from the provinical 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.).
