Lacombe County has an impressive inventory of road and bridge infrastructure. The County's Operations Department works hard to ensure this infrastructure continues to best serve County residents.

Lacombe County establishes and maintains a road construction program that takes into consideration the long-term transportation needs, as well as smaller emergent projects that can be completed in a relatively short period.

The needs of all areas of the County are given equal consideration when road construction programs are established. Check out the information below to see how these decisions are made.

Road Construction Planning

Lacombe County attempts to build 10-12 miles of local road each year. The long-range road construction plan is updated every second year. Gravel pit reclamation and development are also part of their scope of work. The size of the projects and weather patterns have a large effect on this program.

Operations has a map showing the County's Road Construction History from 1966 to 2023.

Bridge Management Plan

Lacombe County has over 100 bridges and bridge-sized culverts on most of the water courses and their tributaries within our boundaries.

Each year, Administration reviews the bridge replacement program and prioritizes structures for replacement based on the Bridge Management Plan.

You can contact the County Office at 403-782-6601 or email the Operations Department to report any damage or safety issues relating to a bridge structure.

Supplementary Construction Program

Supplementary construction projects are defined as projects that are generally less than .25 miles in length and can normally be completed in less than three days.  The approved short-term projects will be scheduled to maximize crew efficiency and minimize moving costs.

Priorities for the supplementary construction program are based on the greatest need and most benefit using the following criteria: 

  • public safety
  • sight line improvement
  • drainage improvement
  • repairing of isolated soft areas in the road surface
  • maintenance concerns
  • cost of construction
  • type and amount of equipment required
Pavement Management Plan

The County's Pavement Management Plan ensures that paved County roads are adequately maintained and upkept. There are four categories of paved roads in Lacombe County:

  • Primary Local Main
  • Secondary Local Main
  • Subdivision Roads
  • Hamlets 

These roads are reviewed by Council and a pavement management plan is set in place for the widening, reconstructing, or paving of these roads.

Thank you for your patience during construction delays.
