Notice of Construction - Matchett Line and Mahood Road

The Township of Otonabee-South Monaghan and its contractor Drain Bros. will be commencing construction activities on Matchett Line (from Wallace Point Road to Willow Road) and Mahood Road (from Matchett Line to Wallace Point Road).

Project Details: The project will start with the removal of some trees within the municipal road allowance, followed by ditching and drainage work.  Once this is complete, the existing road will be graded, geotextile installed and base aggregate added. This will be followed by the application of the new asphalt road surface. 

When: Work is expected to begin on May 4, 2026 and be completed by September 2, 2026.

Traffic Impact: Traffic on these roads will be impacted, and lane closures can be expected.  Full road closures (local traffic only) may be necessary but will be temporary, (1 day maximum).

Alternate Route: Residents and visitors can use alternate routes via Driscoll Road and Wallace Point Road.  Traffic impact will depend on where the work is taking place however, OSM Township and Drain Bros Construction will ensure traffic disruptions are kept to a minimum.

If you would like more information about the construction project, please contact or email Craig Brooks, Director of Operations 705-745-3595, directorofoperations@osmtownship.ca.

This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada through the Canada Community-Building Fund.
