The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is beginning a road rehabilitation project on Countryview Line between St. Clair Road (Highway 40) and Lindsay Road.
Municipal officials say this 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.
Beginning the week of Monday, June 24, 2024, Huron Construction will begin construction on Countryview Line.
This project is slated for completion in late August 2024.
The first component of the project includes the replacement of the culverts and catch basins.
This work will require a closure of Countryview Line from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will be completed in three phases beginning Monday, June 24, 2024, with an anticipated completion date of Friday, July 12, 2024, weather permitting.
This project will include 3 phases as follows:
– Phase 1 – Countryview Line closed from Prince Albert Road to Centre Side Road – starting the week of June 24, 2024
– Phase 2 – Countryview Line closed from St. Clair Road to Prince Albert Road – starting the week of July 2, 2024
– Phase 3 – Countryview Line closed from Centre Side Road to Lindsay Road – starting the week of July 8, 2024
“Motorists are advised to follow construction detour signage during this time as the dates of the closures may change as work progresses,” Municipal officials said in a media release.
“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, with a scheduled completion date by the end of August 2024. One lane on Countryview Line will remain open at all times during the pavement resurfacing and restoration phase of the project.”
