The Windsor Essex Mobility Group does not feel it is necessary from a safety perspective to temporarily close North Talbot Road.

The group is responsible for designing, financing, constructing, operating and maintaining the Rt. Hon. Herb Gray Parkway over 30 years.

Officials say they stand by their assertion that the project is safe, durable and of the highest quality. They welcomed the province’s announcement Wednesday that the scope of a review has been expanded to include consideration of the safety and durability of all additional girders for the project.

The group says it is confident that the review committee will find that the project is safe, durable and of the highest quality.

The province granted an extra 30 days for the review.
