Wallaceburg’s Dufferin Avenue is slated to undergo a massive overhaul.
At tonight’s council meeting Chatham-Kent council will look to approve spending $8.7 million to rehabilitate the road. The province has already committed $3 million in funding for the project through the Connecting Links program.
The construction will include new storm sewers, watermains, curbs, sidewalks, traffic signals and pavement rehabilitation.
Construction is planned to begin in June 2023 and be completed by November 2023, with restoration work completed in Spring 2024.
Two lanes of traffic will remain open during the construction and access to Dufferin Avenue businesses and properties will be maintained during construction.
