County of Essex County Infrastructure and Planning Services is spending $69,736,900 on road construction in 2023 in these six key areas:

  • Capacity Expansion - $43,605,000
  • Rehabilitation - $19,676,300
  • Traffic Operations - $415,600
  • Municipal Drainage - $450,000

Some of these funds are for ongoing major projects that will improve and enhance the road system in Essex County.

County Road 22 Corridor Study

The County of Essex in partnership with the Town of Lakeshore is undertaking a corridor planning study for County Road 22 between East Puce Road and Belle River Road. 

As a critical transportation link between the City of Windsor and the municipalities of Tecumseh and Lakeshore, the intent is to evaluate options to improve the corridor to address the current and future traffic needs and demands and support the previously developed vision of the corridor.

For more information and updates, visit the project page.

County Road 19 and County Road 22 Improvements

The County of Essex is improving traffic flow through intersection improvements and road widening – as well as constructing a roundabout, sidewalks and multi-use trails to improve operation and capacity and enhance neighbourhood connectivity – in the area of County Road 19 and County Road 22 in Tecumseh and Lakeshore.

Reconstruction of County Road 42

The County of Essex is providing improved reliable infrastructure with the local and regional community in mind. In cooperation with regional municipalities, it is building new roundabouts, and constructing bicycle lanes, sidewalks and multi-use trails along County Roads 42 and County Road 43 in Tecumseh and Lakeshore.

The reconstruction of County Road 42, between County Road 19 and the City of Windsor, is a multi-year project that will increase road capacity and enhance neighbourhood connectivity. Work has begun and completion of the entire project is expected to take five to seven years.

The project includes:

  • Widening of County Road 42 from County Road 19 (Manning Road) to the City of Windsor limits to a five-lane roadway with bike lanes, sidewalks and/or multi-use trails.
  • Multi-lane roundabouts on County Road 42 at County Road 19 (Manning Road) and the new intersection with County Road 43 (Banwell Road).
  • The diversion and widening of County Road 43 (Manning Road) from Shields Avenue to south of County Road 42.

Go to our County Road 42 Reconstruction project page for updates and to learn more.

County Road 2 Active Transportation Pilot Project

The County of Essex in 2021 conducted an active transportation pilot project to enhance safety by using bollards, curbing and increased signage on County Road 2 (Old Tecumseh Road) from East Pike Creek Road to County Road 22 in Lakeshore.

The pilot project, the first of its kind for the County Wide Active Transportation System, separated the active transportation corridor from the roadway, creating protected bike lanes and promoting an improved user experience for cyclists, pedestrians and motorists.

Feedback and data collected during the pilot project is being used to inform future plans for this road corridor.

Capacity Expansion Program

The County’s Capacity Expansion Program is an aggressive program of road projects planned over 20 years with a total value of $380 million. Proposed projects in 2023 are expected to cost $43,605,000.
