Ontario Government Invests Over $2 Million For Havelock Road Repairs

Dave Smith, Peterborough-Kawartha MPP, noted that most traffic comes from out-of-town rather than local vehicles which contributed to the road’s deterioration.
“The people of Havelock-Belmont-Methuen deserve access to safe, reliable transportation infrastructure—and that's what our government is delivering,” he said. “Ottawa Street is the lifeblood of this village, serving as a critical link for both local residents and the movement of goods along the Highway 7 corridor. By investing over $2 million into this rehabilitation, we are ensuring our roads remain resilient, supporting local jobs and driving economic growth for years to come.”
