A Lambton County delegation is in Toronto today to meet with Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca at Queen's Park.
Warden Bev MacDougall, along with County Public Works Manager Jason Cole, acting CAO Jim Kutyba and Plympton-Wyoming Mayor Lonny Napper will make the trip.
The widening of Hwy. 40 and winter road maintenance on Hwy. 402 will be discussed.
A recent Auditor General's report slammed the Liberal government's cost-cutting move of privatizing winter road maintenance, saying highways took, in some cases, up to five hours to clear, putting motorists at greater risk between 2009 and 2014.
A stretch of Hwy. 402 in Plympton-Wyoming has been the site of several and sometimes fatal multi-vehicle pileups in snow storms.
