Overview of Upcoming Road Construction Projects in Durham Region

The Regional Municipality of Durham has announced an upcoming lane closure on Winchester Road in Whitby. The eastbound lane will be closed from Durham Street/Chelmsford Drive to east of Watford Street/Anderson Street. This closure is scheduled to take place from August 6, 2024, to December 2024, and then again from April 2025 to September 2025. The closure is intended for the rehabilitation and widening of Winchester Road, which aims to enhance safety for road users, pedestrians, and work crews, improve traffic flow, and reduce the overall construction timeline. The lane closure will be lifted from December 2024 to April 2025, allowing full access to the road during that period. Detour routes will be posted for eastbound travelers. Businesses in the vicinity will remain open, and access to their entrances will be maintained whenever possible. More information can be found on the Durham Region's website regarding the project and its impact on local businesses.
