Lanark County Welcome to the official Lanark County page. We will be using this space to provide updates on Council and Corporate business.

Lanark County Council is made up by two representatives from each of the eight local municipalities within the county. It employs almost 400 people and administers an annual gross budget of $78.6 million. All County services are divided amongst four standing committees: Community Services, Corporate Services, Economic Development and Public Works. There are also sub-committees and working groups to work through specific issues. Some of the County’s services include social services (Ontario Works, child care), long-term care, public works (roads and bridges), land ambulance, economic development, tourism, planning approvals and trails.

Richardson Side Road Update:

Please note Richardson Side Road will be open to traffic by the end of day today (Friday, Oct. 16) at 5 p.m.

Due to inclement weather this week, paving has been delayed with an indefinite completion within the next one to two weeks. We will confirm the dates as soon as the contractor notifies us.

The road surface will be maintained in gravel during this time. Paving work will be conducted with the use of traffic control personnel once it begins.

No further closures will be required. Portable message signage will be updated this afternoon to reflect the road opening.

Thank you for your patience as this road work nears completion!

🚧 “LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY” DOESN’T MEAN EVERYONE WHO LIVES LOCALLY.

See a road closure sign that says LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY?

It does not mean:
❌ “I live in this town.”
❌ “I live in this village.”
❌ “I live in this city.”
❌ “I’m only going a few minutes down the road.”

It means access is generally limited to people who need to reach a property within the closed section—for example, residents who live there or people visiting someone who lives there. If your destination is outside the closed section, the closure applies to you.

🚧 If you're not local to the closed section, use the detour.

Construction zones are active work areas. Road conditions may be unfinished or unsafe, and municipal workers may be operating heavy equipment with limited room to maneuver.

A few extra minutes on the detour is worth it.

Give road crews room. Keep yourself safe.
