Roads & Bridges

The Township of Perth East strives to provide a safe and efficient means of travel on our road system. The Public Works Department is responsible for nearly 530km of roads, approximately 15kms of sidewalks, over 50 bridge structures and many large diameter culverts. The ongoing maintenance and patrolling of these assets are paramount duties of the department.

The Townships roads crew operate its routine road maintenance and capital projects out of two Public Works facilities. The south district operates out of the Line 40 yard, the north district crews operate out of the Line 61 yard.

Who Maintains What?

The Township of Perth East is made up of Provincial, County and Township roads. If you are looking for information on who maintains a road in Perth East, Perth County has an interactive map available. You can search by road and learn about who maintains it. You can find this map here.  

Municipal511 is a map-based road information and communication service that provides up to date information on emergency road closures and planned construction activities. Wherever possible, all activities that impact roadways are shared on Municipal 511.

During the spring thaw, some Township roads may become too soft and unstable to withstand the weight of a fully loaded truck, regardless of the axles. In an effort to reduce damage to the roads during spring thaw, from March 1 to April 30 each year, the Township restricts vehicles to half loads (5 tonnes per axle) on all roads in the Township. Please assist us in reducing repairs to our road system by not having heavy deliveries to your property during this time of year.

To assist the roads crews in winter road maintenance, parking is restricted on Perth East Roads between 2am-8am, between November 1st and April 15th. For more information on the Parking By-Law in Perth East please visit the By-laws page

Perth County Open Air Fire Ban Lifted

PERTH COUNTY (August 25, 2025) – Effective at noon today, thanks to the recent rainfall, the open air fire ban will be lifted in the County of Perth, including the City of Stratford. Burn permits can now be issued and must abide by the respective municipality’s open air burn by-law.
With the monitoring of rainfall and vegetation conditions, Fire Chiefs are confident that residents can now safely burn. Please continue to practice safe burning by doing the following:

  •  Call your local fire department to obtain an open air burn permit.
  •  Closely supervise all outdoor fires. Make sure the fire is out before leaving the area.
  • Ensure that your open fire is the correct distance from all structures and other combustible materials.
  •  Never burn plastics, household garbage, construction debris, treated lumber or other laminate wood, tires, ashphalt products, pesticides, paint or aerosol containers, etc. These contain toxins that are harmful to people, animals and the environment when burned.
  • Avoid burning on windy days and be aware of wind direction when deciding to burn.
  • Never use gasoline or other flammable combustible liquids.

Have a source of water or equipment to move dirt/sand to extinguish the fire if necessary.
With weather conditions changing frequently during the summer months, we advise that the burn ban may be put back in place at anytime, if dry conditions return.
Farmers are still encouraged to be very careful with combining, as field fires can quickly overtake equipment, neighbouring crops and can spread quickly into adjacent woodlands. Having a fire extinguisher on board large equipment is highly recommended.
If you discover an uncontrolled/unattended open air fire, it is very important that you report fires immediately to 9-1-1. Do not delay reporting while attempting to control or extinguish the fire.
The Fire Chiefs in these municipalities wish to thank residents and visitors alike for their patience and co-operation during the fire ban.
If you have any questions regarding this order, please contact your local Fire Department.
