The next phase of construction on Huron Church Road was announced Wednesday.
The Ontario government announced another $2.3-million in funding through the Connecting Links Program to complete the reconstruction from Tecumseh Road to Dorchester Road.
“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. 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," said Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens. "I’m excited to see continued infrastructure improvements on Huron Church Road and the E.C. Row Expressway with generous support from the Province of Ontario.”
The City of Windsor has been working to improve the roadway since 2020. In total, $12 million has been dedicated to the project.
Refurbishing from Malden Road to Pool Avenue was completed in 2020, and from College Avenue to Tecumseh Road was completed in 2021.
The next phase of the project includes full lane repairs, repairing the centre median, and retrofitted catch basins. There will also be street lighting and traffic infrastructure work done at the Industrial Drive and Tecumseh Road West intersections.
