The Municipality of Clarington is planning to reconstruct Old Scugog Road from Edmonson Avenue to Highway 407 in Hampton in the summer of 2021 (pending budget approval).
The existing road is in poor condition due to an absence of adequate drainage and needs to be repaired for public safety, said a council statement.
The proposed work includes:
- Reconstruction of the road to allow adequate drainage to a defined roadside ditch and prevent water from draining onto private properties.
- A semi-mountable curb in areas where the road is not wide enough for roadside ditches.
- Local storm sewer replacements within the project area.
- Local spot repairs of the existing sidewalk.
- Utility relocations as needed to allow for the proposed road design.
The proposed reconstruction design will avoid impacts to the existing sidewalk and private properties fronting Old Scugog Road as much as possible, the statement added.
So where is the connection of old Scugog Rd to the 407? The headline is just an attention grabber.
What a horrible headline. There is no connection to 407 planned, why would you make your headline so misleading.
Also why are you using a picture of Old Scugog road further south where the infamous Christmas lights are? Not only is the headline misleading, so is the graphic. Come one Durham Post, put some effort in and not just click bait crap.
