Did you know? The Town has an interactive map where you can view updates about construction projects in the Town of Whitby.

1. Project: Columbus Road Closure – Country Lane to Cedarbrook Trail

August 2025 to 2028

Work will take about three years and requires coordination with multiple agencies and utilities. Detour routes are posted. All north/south roads crossing Columbus Road will remain open.

The relocation of hydro poles to the south side of Columbus Road to allow widening from 2 to 5 lanes (even more at intersections) is currently underway. This 2.2 km relocation is the first step and should wrap up by late 2025. Trees and brush will be cleared in late 2025 to early 2026, following environmental rules. This must be done by April 1, 2026. Bell and other utilities will also adjust their infrastructure. Major road construction begins in 2026, including new water crossings and water/sewer line installation.

July 2025 to December 2025

3. Project Number: T-10-2025, Brawley Road Ditch Improvement
