Traffic in Stouffville could get a little hairy this fall.

The town will close a portion of Tenth Line later this year for up to three months for reconstruction work that includes a new roundabout.

The stretch of road in question is from the southern limit of the town to 80 metres south of Mantle Avenue. The project is estimated to cost $3.7 million.

A staff report said the closure of the road will allow the project to be completed expeditiously.

The priority is to have the Tenth Line water main and sewer extensions completed so that service can be provided to the future subdivision to the east

Staff investigated the possibility of keeping the road partially open during construction but concluded it would not only extend the duration of the project, but also repeat the experience of the Ninth Line roundabout construction.

The cost of the Ninth Line roundabout, a York Region project, increased from the originally estimated $483,000 to $920,000, said the town.

Manager of engineering for the town Dave Kenth said the closure is likely to occur in late September or early October.
