County Road 42 Construction Work is Resuming in February 2023

The reconstruction of the County Road 42 corridor from Concession 11 to Pike Creek in Tecumseh and Lakeshore will resume this month.

The Phase 1 underground work that was halted for the winter will resume in February and progress in sections along the corridor. It is anticipated it will be completed by December 2023.

Two temporary traffic lanes have been created to allow for the installation of new storm and sanitary sewers, as well as a new water main. This will allow for the creation of two new roundabouts, roadway widening of County Road 42 and the re-alignment of County Road 43.

Area businesses and residents can expect to encounter construction activity, delays, lane reductions and possible short-term disruptions of driveways during the construction period. However, access to residential and business properties will be maintained at all times.

Due to the size and complexity of this project, the County of Essex has created a special web page with the most up-to-date information about construction activity and future phases of this multi-year plan: countyofessex.ca/CR42.
