Lethbridge County covers a large area and has an extensive road network of approximately 2,000 kilometres. Public Works operations make up a large part of the County's everyday activities, and around half of budgeted operating expenses. This department is responsible for many functions, including road maintenance (grading, gravelling, road rehabilitation, culverts, signage, street sweeping, etc.), snow removal, and agricultural services (roadside weed spraying, mowing, etc.).

Council has approved the following Level of Service documents, which guide these operations and direct staff activities to ensure maintenance is carried out in an effective and efficient manner, while remaining within budget:

• Public Works Level of Service (includes grading, gravelling, Haul Route Network and hard surface maintenance, road construction/rehabilitation, culverts, signage, dust control, street sweeping, and line painting)
• Agricultural Service Board Level of Service (includes pest/weed control and inspections, agriculture extension programs, mowing, park/playground maintenance, and tree pruning)

Did you know? Some roads are maintained by the County and some are maintained by the Province (Government of Alberta).

Numbered highways are outside the jurisdiction of the County, these are shown in yellow on the map below. They are maintained by the GoA and Volker Stevin. Roads marked in black are part of the County road network and road maintenance program. See this map in more detail.
