Atherley Road reconstruction starting Aug. 19

The widening of Atherley Road from three lanes to four is starting Aug. 19, 2013, and will continue until Nov. 1, 2013.

During this time, Atherley Road between Gill Street and East Street, will be reduced to two lanes. Work has been underway adjacent to Atherley Road for a few weeks, but crews will now begin work on the road itself.

The road widening will help reduce traffic congestion and improve traffic flow, as well as improve the current deteriorated condition of the road surface.

The City of Orillia apologizes for any inconvenience this reconstruction project may pose to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

For more information call the City of Orillia at 705-325-1311.

The City of Orillia is a city of 30,586 people in the heart of Central Ontario on the shores of Lake Couchiching and Lake Simcoe. Visit our website at orillia.ca.
