Road Open but speed reduction in effect for Larkin Cross Road and Otter Lake Road
Portions of Larkin Cross Road and Otter Lake Road are now open but with reduced speed.
Crews on-site; please obey all traffic control signs.
On the morning of June 7, 2024 a vehicle hauling vegetable oil proceeded to travel on public roadways with an open port which caused vegetable oil to coat portions of Larkin Cross Road and Otter Lake Road within the Township. Due to the extremely slick road conditions, Township public works crews closed portions of Larkin Cross Road and Otter Lake Road while clean-up efforts were underway. Clean-up efforts appear to be working well, and the roadways have been reopened, however, in an abundance of caution, reduced speed limits are in effect in these areas. Road clean-up efforts have left residual sand and loose gravel on the roadways. Maximum 30km/hr will be in effect until further notice. When in the area, the Township asks that you obey all traffic control signs in place. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
