Throughway Management

Measuring if Highways are Open

Parks Canada seeks to keep highways open to through traffic barring uncontrollable environmental events (e.g., heavy snowfalls or excess rain resulting in rockslides). It measures this based on management attestation as to whether any of the highways were closed due to the condition of the asset during the year.

During 2006-2007, no highway was closed due to asset condition.

Beginning in 2007-2008, Parks Canada will monitor if through highways (and associated bridges) were rated “closed,” together with the reason for the closure, in its Asset Management System.
