    Historique

    The Office of the Chief Engineer was established as part of the newly-created Ontario Department of Public Highways, in 1915. Previous to this, responsibility for the engineering of highways and roads in the province rested with the engineers within the Office of the Commissioner of Highways. The first Chief Engineer was George Hogarth.

    The Office of the Chief Engineer (also known as the Chief Engineer's Branch, and during the late 1950's, as the Office of the Chief Engineer and Manager of Operations), gradually expanded over the years as the responsibilities of the office grew. By the 1950s the office consisted of a variety of different engineers, including: the Bridge Engineer, the Contract Engineer, the Chief Engineer of Maintenance, the Chief Engineer of Construction; and the Inspector of Surveys. The various Division or District Engineers also reported to the Chief Engineer. In 1955, the office was reorganized into two primary sections - the Planning and Design Branch and the Operations Branch.

    In 1961, the Office of the Chief Engineer was replaced with the Office of the Assistant Deputy Minister of Engineering.
