The Town of Ponoka’s annual Pavement and Concrete Improvement Programs for 2021 are underway. The programs are an essential component of the Town’s Asset Management Plan and a key part of the Town’s commitment to the ongoing maintenance and continued improvement of municipal roadways and infrastructure.
The annual programs identify and prioritize aging roadways, sidewalks, curbs and gutters in Ponoka that require improvement and replacement based on the condition and priority of each piece of infrastructure within the Town’s roadway system.
Pavement and Concrete Improvements Planned Throughout Ponoka
