The Sackville Bridge Public Information Centre has been completed in partnership with D.M. Wills for options of bridge replacement, rehabilitation, removal, repurposing. The options were presented to residents on October 28th at the Bewdley Community Centre.
Roads
The Township of Hamilton’s Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining 299 km of municipal roads, along with bridges, culverts, signage, and storm infrastructure. Seasonal work includes snow removal, grading, mowing, and general road maintenance. Drivers are asked to slow down and use caution in work zones to help keep crews and road users safe.
The Township does not maintain county roads, provincial highways, or privately owned roads. For more information, please refer to the Ontario Highway Traffic Act.
Sackville Bridge Assessment
The Township of Hamilton is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) with consultants D.M. Wills Associates Limited to explore options for the future of Sackville Bridge.
The assessment has been completed to identify and evaluate alternatives to replace, rehabilitate, remove, or repurpose the Sackville Bridge with respect to natural environments (fish habitat and water features, terrestrial ecosystems, vegetation, wildlife, species at risk), cultural environments (First Nations, heritage, archeological), socio-economic environments (accessibility for local residents during construction, cost, impacts to municipal/emergency services, property impacts), and transportation environments (detour route during construction, roadway safety, traffic operations and consideration for AADT volumes).

Submit a service request or report a concern related to roads, water service, parks, recreation facilities, and more. Our team will follow up as needed and may request additional information or forms to help address your request.
Obtain a Permit
Permits are required for activities such as road cuts, entrance applications, and oversize weight/load permits to ensure public safety, maintain road integrity, and comply with Township regulations. These permits help manage the impact of construction, transportation, and other activities on the road network.
The Township of Hamilton has implemented an electronic permit application process through Permit Central.
Road Needs Study
The Township of Hamilton completes a Road Needs Study every five years.
The purpose of the Road Needs Study is to:
- Clearly define the road network
- Maintain an updated inventory of the road network
- Identify problems and estimate the cost of improvements
- Provide a guide for future road work
Parking
The Township of Hamilton enforces parking regulations to help keep our roads safe and accessible for everyone.
As of November 15, the Township of Hamilton’s Winter Parking Hours are in effect. The Winter Parking Hours will remain in effect, until April 15. To support safe and efficient snow clearing, please remember: No vehicles, trailers, equipment, or materials may be parked or placed on Township roads or right-of-way between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.
Keeping the roads clear overnight helps our Public Works team plow and sand safely, reducing hazards for all drivers.
To learn more about where and when you can park, visit our By-law Enforcement webpage.
Paint a Plow
Paint a Plow is an activity run every fall, in partnership with local elementary schools within the Township of Hamilton. This activity is completed during Local Government week which is observed every October.
In 2026, staff and students at Baltimore Public School and Plainville Public School came together to create some incredible artwork on our plows. The art represents their community and local government!
Stop by the Township Office to see their artwork and watch for these colourful plows on the roads this winter!
Call Before You Dig
Are you thinking of digging as part of a project or home improvement (such as building a fence, flower bed, deck, etc)? Contact Ontario One Call at 1-800-400-2255 before you dig. It is the law. Ontario One Call is a call centre that receives dig locate requests to make sure homeowners, diggers and property owners are safe when digging.
Ontario One Call alerts the infrastructure owners of your digging plans and contact information. Infrastructure owners can then provide locates, drawing, and/or clearances, lowering the risk of property damage, lost of utilities, injury, and penalties/fines.
Locates can be markings on the ground or a statement/email from the infrastructure owner that its buried infrastructure will not be affected by the digging.
You can visit the Ontario One Call website to learn more about their services.
