Getting around during construction

The project is being completed in three stages to reduce traffic impacts throughout construction. Construction began on July 2, 2026. Stage 1 has been completed.

Beginning July 27, Stage 2 of construction will be in place for approximately 8 weeks and will include the closure of the north leg of Fischer-Hallman Road at the intersection. The roundabout will operate as a three-way stop, with access to the work area limited to local traffic only.

During this stage, construction activities will include asphalt removal and underground storm sewer installation. Following Stage 2, construction will transition to Stage 3, which will include the closure of the south leg of the intersection. Local access and traffic movements will be maintained where possible throughout construction.

Detours will be in place during Stages 2 and 3. During Stage 2, southbound traffic on Fischer-Hallman Road will be redirected via Huron Road and Trussler Road. During Stage 3, eastbound traffic on New Dundee Road will be detoured via Trussler Road and Cedar Creek Road.

During construction, traffic may occasionally be required to travel on a gravel surface and may be controlled by traffic control staff.
