Construction season is shifting into high gear this week in communities across Chatham-Kent.

The MTO is shutting down the 401 westbound on-and-off ramps at Bloomfield Road today through Friday. There will be some sporadic lane closures around the overpass during the week as well.

Bloomfield itself will also have lane closures between Richmond and Riverview for paving today through June 14th.

In Wallaceburg, crews will be returning to work on the Elgin Street reconstruction, shutting down the road between Gordon and Linden through the middle of June.

And starting tomorrow, work is getting underway on a section of sidewalk on Lacroix Street in Chatham.
