Prepare for an alternate route through Colborne Street today in Oshawa.
Colborne Street West will be closed to traffic all day today from the stretch between Kaiser Crescent and Center Street North. It’s only open to local traffic. So if you live on the street you should still be able to make your way in and out.
The street will be closed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m to set up a crane to lift concrete floor slabs on to new apartment building at 115 Colborne Street West.
No through access will be available for emergency vehicles. Temporary conditions signs will be posted in accordance with provincial standards.
The property at 115 Colborne Street West in Oshawa features 75 new purpose-built affordable housing units specifically for seniors (59+) and those with a disability.
Design features include energy efficient features, accessibility for persons with disabilities for the entire building including barrier-free units, an abundance of well-planned accessible amenity space for active living, and public transport available close by.
This project is still early in development. Occupancy is targeting March 2027 and the building will be taking applications starting September 2026.
