Lane Restrictions
During road reconstruction operations, traffic speed will be reduced to 60 km/h through the work zone.
During various phases of the project, it will be necessary to close portions of County Road 56. Detour routes will be set up and advanced warning signs will be installed to warn motorists of the traffic disruptions. Additional correspondence and detour maps will be distributed to advise of the exact dates for road closures as the project progresses.
Exposed gravel driving surfaces may be encountered periodically during construction.
