Sections of Sandwich Street will be reduced to one lane during the day for the next 10 weeks, part of an ongoing road construction project by Bridging North America ahead of the Gordie Howe International Bridge opening.
Windsor police posted about the closures on social media platform Friday. The construction will begin on Monday.
Sandwich Street will be reduced to one lane between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. between Chappell Avenue and Chewett Street. Both lanes will be open overnight, and access to homes, businesses and pedestrian walkways will be allowed. Street parking will not be permitted, police said.
The construction will take place in the following segments: Chappell Avenue to Prince Road; Prince Road to South Street; South Street to Brock Street and Brock Street to Chewett Street.
