General Information
Fredericton's road and sidewalk system includes approximately 700 lane km of roads and 220 km of sidewalk. To better facilitate traffic movement throughout the City there are 60 signalized intersections and 20 pedestrian activated flashing crosswalks.
The Roads and Streets Division of the Engineering and Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining the road and sidewalk network in the City of Fredericton. As the seasons change, the focus of the Division changes with them.
During the winter months, the Division is responsible for all snow plowing, clearing, salting, and sanding on the City's road and sidewalk network.
- In April, the Division changes its operations to deal with spring potholes and starts its annual street and sidewalk cleaning program.
- The primary focus during the summer months shifts to construction and maintenance on the City's roads, sidewalks and drainage systems.
- In the fall, the construction and maintenance programs are completed and staff prepare equipment for the upcoming winter season.
Within the City's road network, streets are classified as arterials, collectors, or local streets. Arterial streets carry the largest volumes of traffic while collector streets move local or residential traffic to the arterial streets. This street hierarchy is used to help prioritized maintenance and operational activities.
Any questions or concerns about the City's road and sidewalk network should be directed to the Engineering and Public Works Dispatch at (506) 460-2038 or publicworks@fredericton.ca
