Road Closures and Traffic Disruptions

The City of Pembroke has begun its preliminary Street Sweeping program on Monday April 20, 2026.

Full street and sidewalk sweeping operations are scheduled to begin on Monday April 27, 2026, and will last approximately 6 to 8 weeks.

• Street sweeping will begin at approximately 8:00pm and will run Monday to Friday on a 24-hour schedule (weather dependant).
• Sidewalk sweeping will take place during daytime hours – 7:30am – 3:30pm (weather dependant).

Sweeping operations will:

• Start from the centre of the City and progress outward toward the East and West city limits
• Focus first on priority streets and arterial routes
• Continue through all residential streets

While the City does sweep select sidewalks and paved boulevards, residents are encouraged to assist with spring clean-up by:

1.    Sweeping sidewalks and boulevards in front of their property

2.    Sweeping the paved portion at the end of their driveway to the edge of the roadway

3.    Place sand along edge of road or in the concrete gutter for collection

4.    Raking boulevards and placing grass clippings in green bins

Please note:

• City staff will collect sand piles placed at the roadside
• Grass clippings and other yard waste must be placed in green bins and will not be collected if left in piles

These simple actions improve efficiency of spring clean up and help prevent sand and debris from entering the storm water system, protecting local rivers and waterways.

Sharing the Road with the Street Sweeper:

Street sweepers are slow-moving vehicles that stop and start frequently during operations. Motorists are asked to be patient, maintain a safe distance, and only pass when it is safe to do so.

Your cooperation helps ensure the safety of both operators and drivers while allowing the sweeper to work effectively.

Please be advised that some noise generated from the sweeping equipment during operation, particularly during overnight hours. The City appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation during sweeping operations.

Effective Monday, April 6th to Friday, June 19th, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Paul Martin Dr. between City Limits and Boundary Rd./Mud Lake Rd. will be subject to slight disruptions, lane width narrowing, and speed limit reductions to facilitate road paving and bridge repairs.

The City of Pembroke asks that drivers always respect the posted construction signage.

Some delays can be expected, and the travelling public is encouraged to use alternate routes.

You are also reminded that the businesses within the construction zone remain open and would be happy to serve you.

We thank you for your patience as the City of Pembroke continues to improve our infrastructure.
