City of Windsor Parks staff will be cutting grass along the E.C. Row Expressway starting Monday, August 12.

Cutting will take place on the centre median, roadside shoulders and all on-and-off ramps.

Crews will begin at 7am on Monday at Huron Church Road and progress eastward. During morning rush hour, work will be confined to the shoulder of the road so traffic is not impeded. However, during other hours of the day, some rolling lane restrictions will be in effect.

The work will last until 3pm each day and, depending on weather, could last up to three weeks.

Motorists are asked to use extra caution and slow down when seeing workers near the roadways.
