Tripp Road reopened to thru traffic this morning, July 8. Flaggers are on site when workers are present to direct traffic as needed, as the site does remain an active construction scene.

The northbound lanes of Collins Road are closed for maintenance and traffic is being routed to Tripp Road as a detour. The northbound lanes are expected to open on the evening of Monday, July 11. Southbound lanes will be open during this time.

Southbound lanes will close on the morning of Tuesday, July 12 and are expected to remain closed until Thursday, July 21. Traffic will re-route to Stoney Creek Boulevard to bypass construction on Collins Road. Northbound lanes will be open during this time.

Completion of the maintenance on Collins road is estimated for the beginning of August 2022.
