Before getting a new driveway culvert, you must first apply for an
entrance way permit.
Applications for Entrance Ways can be obtained through the
Department of Community and
Cultural Affairs, by contacting the Department's
Capital Projects Division
or by contacting one of your
local
representatives.
However, if you are purchasing a piece of property along an arterial or seasonal highway, the Minister
of Transportation and Public Works must first approve access to the highway in accordance with the
regulations under the
Roads Act.
If you are buying a parcel of land that is not an approved building lot, it is important
to ensure that the property has a safe access for an entrance way on a provincial highway.
Failure to ensure safe access could mean that you may not be able to develop your property.
The enforcement of regulations for safe highway access falls under the
Roads Act Highway Access Regulations.
To obtain an entrance way permit for an arterial or seasonal highway or to determine safe access
to a provincial highway, contact the
Traffic Operations Section of the
Capital Projects Division
if you require:
-
A farm field entrance along all Provincial Highways when there is no building
or subdivision involved;
-
An entrance way along an arterial highway for commercial, industrial or
institutional uses; or
-
An entrance way along all Provincial Highways within Municipalities that
administer their own Official Plans and Bylaws.
Contact a
Property Development Officer of the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs for all other entrance ways for development and subdivision
applications not included in the above.
If you have already received approval for your entrance way and have a question
regarding your culvert installation, please contact the
Highway Maintenance Division in your county.
You will be asked what community you live in and personnel from your area will
be in contact with you to coordinate the installation or expansion of
your driveway culvert.
To report any problems with your culvert, such as heaving due to frost, please contact the
Highway Maintenance Division in your county or use our
online reporting tool below.
