Work on the new roundabout at the Queen’s Line and Merlin Road intersection begins this week.
According to a municipal media release, Huron Construction will mobilize equipment, install required traffic signage and post detour route information when the project gets underway.
The roundabout’s first phase includes the construction and realignment of Merlin Road north and south of Queen’s Line. This means a full closure of Merlin Road from Gleeson Line to McDougall Line beginning Oct. 21.
Queen’s Line will stay open for this stage, however, motorists may see some delays due to lane reductions.
The second phase, slated for February 2025, will see the rehabilitation of the bridge just west of the intersection, realignment of Queen’s Line, and the final construction of the roundabout. It’s expected to be completed in July 2025.
