Schedule

Design and planning: 2022
Detailed design: 2024–2025
Construction: July - November 2026

Note: timing may be affected by weather conditions and changing project scope; updates will be posted as needed.

Budget

$2,957,000

Getting around during construction

Construction of the roundabout will be completed in two stages to reduce traffic impacts. In Stage 1, the norther section of Fischer-Hallman Road will be closed, while Stage 2 will involve closure of the southern section. Local access and traffic movements will be maintained where possible throughout construction.

Detours will be in place during each stage. Southbound traffic on Fischer-Hallman Road will be redirected via Huron Road and Trussler Road in Stage 1. In Stage 2, eastbound traffic on New Dundee Road will be detoured via Trussler Road to Cedar Creek, while access to the gas station from the south will be maintained.

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