The County of Essex is closing a section of County Road 22 in Lakeshore.
The county says it is closing the eastbound lanes and one westbound lane between Patillo Road and East Pike Creek Road to make more repairs.
The area was shut down late Tuesday afternoon when the heat buckled the road.
The closure goes into effect at 9 a.m. Wednesday and the county hopes to have the area reopened to traffic by the end of the day.
Beginning at 9 a.m. we will be closing the eastbound lanes of CR 22 and reducing the westbound lanes to one lane between East Pike Creek Road and Patillo Road in @TweetLakeshore to make emergency repairs. It is our intention to have all lanes back open by end of day today. pic.twitter.com/xNFXOEw7ZB
