The project work will include milling and paving the existing driving surface, replacement of shoulder rumble strips and pavement markings. It is anticipated that these projects will require periodic single lane closures. There will be no designated detour routes. Advanced signing will be placed in strategic locations on the highway advising traffic of the lane closures.
These projects are scheduled for completion in the Fall of 2014.
MTO would appreciate any comments or questions regarding the projects by Tuesday, May 6, 2014. Comments should be directed to:
