Road construction encompasses the building of new roads and major reconstruction of existing roads by municipalities. New road construction typically accompanies development, with developers often required to build local roads within subdivisions. Municipalities construct arterial and collector roads serving broader areas. Major reconstruction rebuilds the road base and surface when resurfacing alone isn't sufficient. Road construction involves engineering design, public consultation, utility coordination, contractor procurement, and construction oversight. Projects may include sidewalks, drainage, lighting, and underground utilities. Construction affects traffic and residents, requiring communication and mitigation measures. Provincial highways are constructed by provincial governments, not municipalities.
