Countryview Line is getting some upgrades to help cycling enthusiasts enjoy their hobby, and make things safer for everyone.
Starting June 24, municipal officials will begin the upgrade between Highway 40 and Lindsay Road.
The project includes the widening of Countryview Line to include paved shoulders to provide additional space for cyclists. The implementation of paved shoulders is part of the recommended actions identified in the Municipality’s Road Safety Action Plan, adopted in November 2023.
Huron Construction will handle the work that is anticipated to be finished in late August.
In the short term, that will mean some 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. road closures.
This week, Countryview Line is anticipated to be closed between Prince Albert Road and Centre Side Road. Starting July 2, the road will be shut between Hwy. 40 and Prince Albert Road. And beginning July 8, the road closure expands to encompass Centre Side Road to Lindsay Road.
Motorists are advised to follow construction detour signage during this time as the dates of the closures may change as work progresses.
Access to all properties on Countryview Line will be maintained throughout the project.
Pavement resurfacing is scheduled to begin upon completion of the culvert replacements.
One lane on Countryview Line will remain open at all times during the pavement resurfacing and restoration phase of the project.
