The Regional Municipality of Durham has begun road resurfacing work on Regional Highway 2 within Clarington, with the project scheduled to run through September, weather permitting.
According to the region, the work involves two sections of the highway: from west of Ovens Road to 30 metres west of Newtonville Road (Regional Road 18), and from 120 metres east of Newtonville Road to east of East Townline Road. The resurfacing will use a method known as hot in place recycling, which removes, rejuvenates, and replaces the existing asphalt surface.
The project, being carried out by Road Resurface Recycling Ltd., will also include paved shoulders and updated pavement markings.
Daily lane restrictions will be in place throughout the project’s duration. Drivers are advised to expect delays and exercise caution when travelling through the area.
