Since the 2022 election, Regional Councillor, Mike Jubb has been a vocal advocate for these repairs to the Roadwhich is a major through way for thousands of vehicles on a daily basis.

Recently, Councillor Jubb shared an update on the project. According to plans from the Region, construction will begin in 2024, with phase one involving the portion of the road, from 0.7 km east of Lake Ridge Rd., to 0.7 km west of Sideroad 17.

In 2025, project plans call for the stretch of road, up to 1.5 km east of Sideroad 17, to be rebuilt. Finally, in 2026, it's expected the project will wrap up with reconstruction past the entrance to the CBM gravel pit.
