Border gateway side road reopens
WINDSOR, Ont. — Completion of construction on the Walker Road-CPR grade separation and the reopening of the roadway to traffic near the Windsor-Detroit border, was announced by the governments of Canada, Ontario and the City of Windsor.
This $50-million investment will reduce congestion and improve traffic flow to the border thousands of travellers in Windsor-Essex, Transport Canada said in a press release.
Walker Road was closed in August 2007 for construction of the main grade separation. With today’s reopening, over 30,000 drivers in Windsor-Essex now have a direct north-south route no longer interrupted by trains.
In addition to the Walker Road-CPR grade separation project, construction is continuing on the widening of Essex County Road 22 and the widening of Highway 401 between Highway 3 and Manning Road.
