Town of Whitby Projects December 2025

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 is on track to wrap up by the end of 2025. Trees and brush will be cleared, 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 April 2026, including new water crossings and water/sewer line installation.

Project Number: T-43-2023, White Bridge Replacement (Columbus Road at Lynde Creek) – July 2025 to December 2026

Please be advised that construction on the White Bridge will continue through the winter months. Crews will focus on building the Columbus Road West bridge over Lynde Creek and improving the approach along Columbus Road, weather permitting. The bridge is being widened to include new bike lanes and sidewalks. Work will also include creek realignment and landscaping. Please note that regular waste collection and snow clearing services will not be affected during the construction period. We appreciate your continued patience and cooperation.
