Expect delays from today on Kingston Road, Church Street

Construction will be continuing on Kingston Road for the Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit (DSBRT) project from June 15th to 20th. The area will be subject to traffic control measures.

From June 15–20, Grascan Construction Ltd. will carry out night work from 7 pm to 7 am for watermain installation at the intersection of Rotherglen Road and Kingston Road in Ajax.

The construction is from Kingston Road (Regional Highway 2) extending from Rotherglen Road to some 300 metres west of Harwood Avenue.

Regular daytime work on Kingston Road will continue as scheduled. Unfavourable weather conditions may impact the work schedule.

Traffic will be reduced during night work, with traffic control measures in place.

A paid duty officer will be on site to assist with directing traffic.

Local residents and business owners should expect traffic delays and are asked to exercise additional caution for the safety of construction workers and road users. Access to business entrances will be maintained whenever possible.

The equipment used for construction creates noise and potential ground vibrations, which may be noticeable to residents and the public. Businesses in the area will remain open during construction.

From June 15 to September 15, a stretch of Church Street North, south of Taunton Road, will be closed to traffic to facilitate the safe and efficient construction of municipal/regional infrastructure.

In the initial eight weeks of construction, beginning on June 15, the stage one closure of Church Street North will be in place. The stage one closure will encompass the first 515 meters of Church Street North, just north of Hurst Drive/Caton Lane.

The remaining five weeks of construction will implement the stage two closure of Church Street North. The stage two closure will encompass the remaining 255 meters of Church Street North, ending south of the Pine Ridge Memorial Gardens (Cemetery Grounds) southern driveway access.

Traffic control signage will be in place to direct motorists, cyclists and pedestrians to use alternate routes. Local access will be provided through Taunton Road West, Westney Road North and Rossland Road West. During construction, access to local residences within the construction area will be open and maintained. Emergency services have been advised of the closure and proposed construction activity.
