City of Barrie has announced the intersection of McKay Road and Huronia Road will fully close starting Monday. This work is for the installation of deep sanitary sewers in the intersection, which is expected to partially reopen in January. North and southbound traffic can expect to take detours via Huronia Road and Sideroad 10, Innisfil Beach Road, Yonge Street or Lockhart Road. East and westbound traffic will be detoured via Victoria Street, Yonge Street, Innisfil Beach Road, 5th Side Road to Veterans Drive to McKay Road West. The current closure of McKay Road East will be extended to October 31, 2027, to allow for sanitary sewer installation. The extension is due to a change in the construction schedule. Work at the Lockhart Road and Huronia Road intersection was completed first to help reduce traffic impacts, and that intersection reopened to traffic Thursday. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and follow posted signage.
