Lorne St intersection reopens this week as Main St construction continues

A message from the Town of Huntsville

Diggin’ Downtown detours will change on Tuesday May 31, 2022 with the reopening of the Lorne Street intersection. Traffic will resume in the area with only minimal flagging disruptions for the remainder of the project.

 Starting Tuesday, May 31, 2022, Diggin’ Downtown construction road restrictions for motorists will be as follows:  

  • Continued 3-way stop at the Main Street and Centre Street intersection controlled by stop signs and traffic signals in a red flash
  • Main Street will be closed from Centre Street to Lorne Street
  • One-way traffic continues on Caroline Street
  • View the detour map at huntsville.ca/diggindowntown

What’s next?

Finishing of Main Street from Lorne to Centre: 
Crews will continue work on Main Street between Lorne Street and Centre Street, focusing on preparing road/sidewalk granulars followed by concrete curb and sidewalk, base asphalt and streetscaping items.

Preparation for a final coat of asphalt:
Construction crews will be working on Main Street between Centre and the bridge to prepare these areas for the final coat of asphalt. This work will be completed under flagging, and disruptions can be expected to accommodate this work.

New schedule:
In mid-June, we look forward to sharing a revised schedule to announce our anticipated completion date this summer.  

The Town and District of Muskoka would like to thank the community for their patience, understanding, and cooperation during this construction project. For more information, please visit huntsville.ca/diggindowntown.
