Construction of a roundabout in Warwick Township is set to start Monday.
The intersection of Nauvoo Road [County Road #79] and Egremont Road [County Road #22) is scheduled for full closure starting July 18.
County of Lambton Construction Supervisor Glen Hamill said detours will be in place and posted.
"You can go online, at County of Lambton online and find the detour there, Municipal 511 has a link to it," said Hamill. "We have extensive detours, both directions, on the 402 as well as Townsend Line, Forest Road and Kerwood Road."
Hamill said no through traffic will be permitted for the duration of the project and motorists are advised to follow all signage and drive in a manner that respects the health and safety of road crews.

Cyclists are also expected to follow the posted detour and avoid the construction zone.
Lambton County Warden Kevin Marriott said he's pleased to see the county proceeding with the project this year.
“This project will create much-needed safety improvements for the intersection and assist with the smooth flow of traffic through the area,” Marriott said.
The closure is expected to last until mid-October, weather permitting.
The project has been estimated to cost $3.3 million.
