Construction at the Lonsberry Drain Culvert on County Road 50 is underway, and will continue for a duration of approximately 12 weeks starting March 2nd. The closure is a short stretch between County Road 13 and County Road 23, just east of Colchester. Please follow the posted detour, and please avoid using local roads to bypass the area. All nearby businesses remain open.
If you purchase a Frequent Flyer year long pass, tastings at Carolinia Cider and Windmill Ridge will return in May 2026!
