Ontario Rebuilding County Road 49 in Prince Edward County

March 19, 2026

Our government is funding the rehabilitation of County Road 49 in Prince Edward County, which the Canadian Automobile Association has identified as one of the worst roads in Ontario.

These upgrades will support the safe movement of people and goods, create good-paying jobs during construction and improve access to one of Ontario’s top tourism destinations.
As a key gateway into Prince Edward County, County Road 49 helps connect residents to jobs, health care, housing and other essential services.

Repairs to the road will also support tourism and the local economy, as it serves as an important link to the region’s wineries, restaurants, theatres and other world-class tourist destinations.

This investment is part of our plan to protect Ontario by making historic investments in highway infrastructure to tackle gridlock, shorten travel times and drive economic growth across the province.
