Four-month Lakeshore Road reconstruction project getting underway

A lengthy stretch of Lakeshore Road will be fully closed for reconstruction and watermain installation, effective Wednesday, April 21.

The road will be shut down from Modeland Road to Telfer Road for about four months, weather permitting.

Detours will be in place using Modeland Road, Blackwell Road and Telfer Road to access Lakeshore Road east and west.

The project is being undertaken by Brandon Contractors.

The city said local residents will be able to access their properties, but at times access will be restricted or completely closed while work is being done adjacent to their property.

Temporary traffic lights have been installed, and cyclists are also expected to follow the posted detour and should avoid the construction zone.
