Ontario’s PC government is making a significant investment to rebuild and improve County Road 49 in Prince Edward County — delivering safer roads, supporting local jobs and strengthening the regional economy.
This project will rehabilitate 18.4 kilometres of roadway between Picton and the Bay of Quinte Skyway Bridge, including new pavement, culverts and important safety upgrades.
This is what it means to Protect Ontario; making historic investments in infrastructure that keep people safe and our economy moving.
As a key gateway into Prince Edward County, County Road 49 connects residents to jobs, health care, housing and other essential services. These upgrades will support the safe movement of people and goods while creating good-paying jobs during construction.
Prince Edward County is also one of Ontario’s top tourism destinations — and this road is a vital link.
By improving County Road 49, our government is making it easier for visitors to access the region’s wineries, restaurants, theatres and local businesses, helping drive tourism and strengthen the local economy.
This investment is part of our plan to protect Ontario by tackling gridlock, shortening travel times and driving economic growth across the province through a historic $30 billion commitment to highways, roads and bridges.
From upgrades to the Bay of Quinte Skyway Bridge to new investments across the region, we are ensuring Southeastern Ontario has the infrastructure it needs to grow and succeed.
