Crews will take on the replacement of the Scanlon Creek culvert at the County Road 4 and Line 10 intersection.
The seven-week closure will force motorists to detour around the area, except for strict access to residential and commercial properties within the construction area, including Bradford Greenhouses, which will remain open with access from Line 12 or Yonge Street.
The County of Simcoe says work is expected to resume in the spring.
The project consists of widening County Road 4 to four lanes, adding signals to the Line 9 intersection, installing Line 10 intersection illumination, new storm sewers, drainage, ditching, and a multi-use pathway.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
