Impact of Eastbound Lane Closure on Winchester Road in Whitby
The Regional Municipality of Durham has announced an upcoming eastbound lane closure on Winchester Road in Whitby, affecting the stretch from Durham Street/Chelmsford Drive to east of Watford Street/Anderson Street. The closure will take place from August 6, 2024, to December 2024, and again from April 2025 to September 2025, with the possibility of schedule changes due to weather conditions. The purpose of the closure is to rehabilitate and widen the road, which is expected to enhance safety for road users, pedestrians, and work crews, as well as improve traffic flow and reduce the construction timeline. During this period, businesses in the area will remain open, and efforts will be made to maintain access to their entrances whenever possible. A detour route for eastbound travelers will be posted, and further details can be found on the Durham Region website. Residents are advised to exercise caution for the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and work crews during the construction period.
