The Town of Milton Engineering Services Department provides technical services for all new construction and reconstruction and is responsible for ongoing maintenance of all existing infrastructure.

Existing infrastructure includes:

431 kilometres of roads in Milton
- 264 kilometres of rural roads
- 41 kilometres of semi-urban roads
- 126 kilometres of urban roads
59 bridges
16 culvert structures greater than 3 metres diameter & approximately 600 culverts of less than 3 metres diameter

The Town is also responsible for storm sewers. Water and wastewater are the responsibility of the Region of Halton.

Road and Bridge Needs studies

Every two years, the Town conducts Road and Bridge Needs studies. Road segments are evaluated in terms of surface type, width, capacity, structural adequacy and drainage. Bridges are evaluated in terms of crossing type, number of spans, deck width and deck length. Culverts of greater than 3 metres diameter are evaluated in terms of crossing type, culvert type, number of spans and total length. Deficiencies are classified as 'now' needs, 1-5 year needs and 6-10 year needs for each type of infrastructure.
