When it comes to the worst roads in Ontario, Lennox and Addington County was not well represented – which is a good thing! So a shoutout to our roads departments for all the work they do and for staying off the list again this year.
The CAA has released its annual list of worst roads in the province, with roads in our neighbouring communities named.
myFM spoke with Community Relations Consultant Brian Pirvu.
Pirvu adds contributions were made by more than just motorists.
It may not come as a shock to many in the region, but County Road 49 in Prince Edward County cracked the top 5 worst roads across the province and is the number 1 worst road in Eastern Ontario.
In Ontario, 145 municipalities nominated over 2,000 different roads in their communities. Municipalities are responsible for approximately 140,000 kilometres of roads across the province.
