Wyoming, ON – The intersection of Nauvoo Road (County Road #79) and Egremont Road (County Road #22) in Warwick Township is scheduled for full closure beginning Monday, July 18, 2022 for construction of a roundabout at the intersection. The work is expected to last until mid-October, weather permitting.
Lambton County Council agreed to move forward with the project this year at its June 1, 2022 meeting, and to fund any financial shortfalls for the project through current reserve funds. The projected cost of the roundabout construction is approximately $3.3 million.
“This roundabout has been long-anticipated by the community and I am pleased we are proceeding with the project this year,” said Lambton County Warden Kevin Marriott. “This project will create much-needed safety improvements for the intersection and assist with the smooth flow of traffic through the area.”
The project, awarded to J-AAR Excavating Limited, includes all costs associated with the design and construction of the roundabout complete with electrical infrastructure and drainage works.
Detours will be in place and posted. No through traffic will be permitted for the duration of the project. Motorists are advised to follow all traffic control signage and to drive in a manner that respects the health and safety of road crews. Cyclists are also expected to follow the posted detour and avoid the construction zone. Detailed routes can be viewed online at lambtononline.ca/roadclosures.
