Windsor announces new work on Huron Church Road
The City of Windsor has launched the next phase of construction on Huron Church Road.
Mayor Drew Dilkens and Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Andrew Dowie provided an update on the project on August 3.
The latest phase sees rehabilitation work from Tecumseh Road to Dorchester Road.
The work will consist of repairs to concrete panels, including full lane repairs southbound from Dorchester Road to Tecumseh Road West. The centre median between Dorchester Road and Tecumseh Road and the island in the Industrial Drive intersection will be removed and replaced. The catch basins will be retrofitted to curb inlet catch basins so that they are taken off the road. There will be street lighting and traffic infrastructure work done at the Industrial Drive and Tecumseh Road West intersections, and the sidewalks will be widened at Industrial Drive.
The Huron Church Road project, which is funded jointly by the city and the province, began in 2020 with refurbishing work between Malden Road and Pool Avenue. Later work saw refurbishments between College Avenue to Tecumseh Road in 2021.
The city is also in the process of construction work on the E.C. Row Expressway.
Work on repaving the road from Dominion Boulevard to Dougall Avenue has just been completed, and work on repaving the road from Huron Church Road to Dominion Boulevard has now begun.
“Huron Church is a vital link that not only connects two roads, it connects residents to the United States, our post-secondary schools, and hundreds of businesses in the area,” said Dilkens. “Given high traffic volumes on the road and because it connects to Canada’s busiest trade route, it is imperative that we keep travel along this road safe and efficient.”
Funding from the province has been provided through the Connecting Links program.
