Areas We Maintain

Our commitment to maintaining highways in Alberta spans over two decades, with our team working to ensure safe and reliable transportation across the province’s 32,000 km of roads. Ledcor manages long-term contracts covering over 5000 km of highways across Alberta.

As a key employer and community member in the area, Ledcor works closely with local municipalities and stakeholders to develop relationships and build partnerships to provide improved maintenance services and support for each local community. Emergency response assistance, development and sharing of highway maintenance best practices, training and employment opportunities and other community support initiatives are examples of the positive impact Ledcor has on the local communities.

Key Projects and Contracts:

Contract Maintenance Area 504:

• Highway 40
• Highway 43

In 2019, Ledcor was awarded a ten-year contract to provide highway maintenance services in Alberta Transportation’s Contract Maintenance Area 504. The highway network under this contract includes the key high-traffic corridors of Highway 40 and Highway 43. Highway 43 is recognized as a Level One highway and forms part of Canada’s national highway system and serves as a critical east-west transportation route.

The maintenance contract recognizes Ledcor’s nearly 25 years of successful highway maintenance contracting in Alberta and over ten years previously in the Grande Prairie area. Under the terms of this contract, Ledcor is responsible for year-round, winter, and seasonal maintenance. Year-round maintenance responsibilities include regular road inspections and condition reporting, sign maintenance and emergency response. Winter maintenance responsibilities include snow removal and ice control.

Red Deer County Maintenance:
In 2018, Ledcor was awarded a second consecutive 5-year maintenance contract with the County of Red Deer, Alberta that began in 2013. The contract includes maintenance and repairs of over 575 lane-kilometers of paved roads within the County’s boundaries in Central Alberta. The road network under this contract includes a number of key commuter and collector roads serving as local strategic routes interconnecting with the provincial highway networks, including the Highway 2 North-South transportation corridor.

Utilizing a fleet of trucks and graders, we perform snow removal on the hard-surfaced roads within subdivisions and hamlets through the County. Our commitment extends beyond winter services, encompassing summer maintenance work such as re-gravelling, drainage program, mowing, and pothole repairs to preserve Red Deer County’s infrastructure.
