History
The Highway Operations Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications was formed in late 1980 from the amalgamation of the Design and Construction Branch with the Maintenance Branch. The branch formed a part of the Highway Engineering Division and consisted of the following offices related to highway maintenance: Maintenance Operations (later Maintenance), Equipment Engineering, and Traffic Engineering (later Traffic Program Management). The branch also included the following offices related to highway engineering: the Contract Management Office; the Environmental Office; and the Highway Design Office.
In late 1982, the Highway Operations Branch ceased to exist. At this time, the highway maintenance activities and offices of the branch were assumed by the new Highway Operations and Maintenance Division, while the highway engineering activities and offices began reporting directly to the Highway Engineering Division.
