Traffic light installation is set to begin Monday at a busy intersection in Amherstburg, Ontario. The project targets the junction of County Road 9 and Middle Side Road, a location that has seen increased traffic and safety concerns in recent years.
Project Details
Crews will start work on June 1, 2026, to install new traffic signals at the intersection. The initiative aims to improve traffic flow and reduce the risk of accidents at the crossing, which connects several local routes. Motorists should expect delays and lane restrictions during the construction period, which is expected to last several weeks.
Background
The intersection near the River Canard bridge has been identified as a high-priority area for safety upgrades. Local officials have advocated for traffic lights to manage the growing volume of vehicles, especially during peak hours. The project is part of broader efforts to enhance road safety in Essex County.
Drivers are advised to use alternate routes where possible and to obey all temporary signage. The municipality will provide updates on the project's progress through its official channels.
