Construction at Matchette Road and Sprucewood Avenue to end on Saturday

For more than a month, commuters on the west end of Windsor and in LaSalle have changed their routes because of construction at the corner of Matchette Road and Sprucewood.

That will change at 5 p.m. on Saturday when construction ends.

The Town of LaSalle installed new traffic signals, sidewalks and a left turning lane at the intersection.

However, just as that project ends, another will start on Monday.

Morton Drive at Matchette Road will close while crews put in new sidewalks and turning lanes, and repair the pedestrian crossing.

The work should take three weeks.

The Matchette Road Bridge over Turkey Creek will remain closed until mid-June.
