Town of Whitby Projects November 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 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.
