For a second consecutive year, the 2025 CAA Worst Road in Ontario is Aberdeen Avenue in Hamilton. (CNW Group\/CAA Worst Roads)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Winning back-to-back is not something to be proud of when it comes to the 2025 CAA Worst Road in\u00a0Ontario, but that\u2019s a title that residents and other users of Aberdeen Avenue in\u00a0Hamilton, Ont., will have to accept for a second consecutive year. Frustrations with potholes and poor road maintenance have kept that road in the number one spot. It first debuted on the top regional list for\u00a0Hamilton\u00a0in 2021 and moved onto the provincial list in 2023.<\/p>\n

In second and third place are\u00a0Barton Street East\u00a0in\u00a0Hamilton\u00a0and County Road 49 in Prince Edward County, two roads that have previously appeared on the CAA Worst Roads Top 10 list six and seven times, respectively. Both roads are expected to receive significant upgrades and are in the planning stages.<\/p>\n

\u201cTimely repairs, better communication, quick fixes, pothole funds and using recycled aggregates are just some solutions to fix unsafe roads,\u201d stated Teresa Di Felice, assistant vice-president of government and community relations at CAA South Central Ontario. \u201cCAA continues to urge all levels of government to prioritize road safety with stable funding to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year, nominations for the provincial program streamed in for over 2,400 different roads from 208 municipalities, up from 2,000 roads from 145 municipalities in 2024 \u2013 a 20 per cent increase in roads nominated. Municipalities are responsible for approximately 140,000 kilometres of roads across the province.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor over two decades, the CAA Worst Roads campaign has given Ontarians a voice to spotlight unsafe roads in their communities and push for much-needed repairs,\u201d explained Di Felice. \u201cThis list provides a powerful snapshot to governments on where to prioritize budgets and move up road repairs, and we know that the public supports these efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

CAA research shows that 26 per cent of survey respondents expressed dissatisfaction with road work projects, stating that they take multiple seasons to complete. However, 85 per cent are willing to put up with the inconvenience of construction in exchange for long-term improvements.<\/p>\n

Ontarians shared their primary reasons for selecting a road,\u00a0with 84 per cent citing potholes, followed by poor road maintenance (77 per cent) and traffic congestion (15 per cent).<\/p>\n
