Projects possible thanks to federal Gas Tax Fund
November 22, 2014 – Adjala-Tosorontio, Ontario – Infrastructure Canada
Residents of Adjala-Tosorontio are now enjoying a smoother ride on seven local roads throughout the Township, thanks to contributions from the federal Gas Tax Fund. Representatives gathered today to celebrate the completion of the work which provides numerous benefits to the community.
In total, 6.5 kilometres of roadway was resurfaced in the Township in 2014. Road work included upgrading road surfaces from gravel to asphalt and resurfacing existing asphalt to provide safe and serviceable roadways. These improvements will increase the functional lifespan of the roads, while providing a safer and smoother commute for motorists.
Road resurfacing was completed on the following roads:
- Concession Road 3 Tosorontio (1,000 metres)
- Main Street, Lisle (400 metres)
- Mulmur-Tosorontion townline (400 metres)
- 5th Sideroad Tosorontio (1,200 metres)

"Our Government is pleased to provide municipalities with flexible infrastructure funding that allows them to support projects that address the needs of their communities. These road improvements, made possible through the federal Gas Tax Fund, will provide a safer and smoother ride for drivers, while helping to protect the environment through reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Going forward, our investments through the federal Gas Tax Fund will continue to generate economic growth and job creation across Ontario communities for years to come."
