The next phase of the Huron Church Road reconstruction project in Windsor is set to begin in April.
Ward two city councillor Fabio Costante says the $4.9-million project will include new pavement, concrete curbs, medians and sidewalks between Girardot Street and College Avenue.
It will also include water main upgrades, street lighting improvements and new traffic signal infrastructure at the intersection of Huron Church and Tecumseh.
Costante says the city is also looking ahead to future phases.
"In the last few years we've completed two stretches of Huron Church," says Costante. "This will be the third stretch and there's an application being put forward already for a fourth stretch which would encompass Girardot to Tecumseh Road West."
He says the upgrades are needed.
"It's a stretch of road that actually that I'm grateful is being replaced because lots of potholes, ridges and it's an old road and the median is also somewhat falling apart," says Costante. "So I'm glad that this work is being done."
