The Town of Amherstburg has closed a section of Front Road North (County Road 20) for emergency infrastructure maintenance, impacting a key rural route for local residents. The road is closed between Thrasher Drive and North Sideroad from May 4 to May 6, 2026, to allow for sanitary and watermain work.

Managed by the town’s Infrastructure Services Department, the project requires the route to be blocked for three days. While through-traffic will need to navigate around the construction, the town has confirmed that local residents will maintain access to their driveways throughout the duration of the work.

Detour routes have been established to help motorists move through the area, with signs posted to guide drivers. This closure adds to ongoing construction in the municipality, including the Concession Road 3 North Drain project, which is underway from April 22 to May 6, 2026.
