Summer Road Construction 2010 - Hwy 12. North of Gamebridge to Atherly

I'm a summer girl so living in cottage country right near Lake Simcoe is fantastic. No running the roads unless I'm headed over to Wasaga Beach on Georgian Bay! However, thousands and thousands of cars travel both north and south daily during the summertime. From the GTA right up to Huntsville. It's those drivers who may want to consider an alternate route at least for the time being or at least just be aware there could be delays.

One of the newest highway construction projects currently underway for summer 2010 involves the Highway 12 Rehabilitation Project (repaving) which extends from Gamebridge to Atherly. Ramara township website will be posting notices and closures when necessary. As well, the Ministry of Transportation has information on all current and future road and highway projects if you have a completely different route.

As many are aware Highway 12 handles single lane traffic both ways so, for those travelling north or south getting onto Highway 169 or another sideroad will shorten your actual contact with that particular stretch of highway. Try to avoid some drastic, never before taken or seen on a map shortcut ;)
