Simcoe Street construction during spring and summer

The Regional Municipality of Durham will be reconstructing a one-kilometre section of Simcoe Street (between Conlin Road and Eastwood Avenue) beginning with equipment positioning during the week of March 12. All major work is to be completed by the end of August, with final restoration work to be completed by fall 2012.

The proposed work includes: road reconstruction, traffic signals, installation of new curb and gutter, sanitary and storm sewer reconstruction, water service connections and installation of a foundation drain collection system. 

Although Simcoe Street will remain open during the construction period, it is anticipated that traffic will be heavier than normal, so please plan for possible delays. The lane restrictions will minimize impact to residents and local businesses, while providing a safe work zone for construction workers.
