The Regional Municipality of Durham will begin construction for the first segment of the Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit (DSBRT) construction along Kingston Road from approximately 300 metres west of Harwood Avenue to Galea Drive in the Town of Ajax. Work will include the construction of dedicated median bus lanes, median transit stop platforms and shelters, road reconstruction, traffic signals with dedicated bus movements, dedicated in-boulevard cycle tracks with crossrides, sidewalks with accessibility improvements, watermain and sanitary sewer installation, street lighting and landscaping.

Construction schedule
The Region’s contractor, KAPP Infrastructure, will begin mobilizing the week of August 5, 2025, with anticipated completion of the work by June 2027.

Temporary Lane Closures
Kingston Road (Regional Highway 2) will have lane shifts and daytime lane restrictions, reducing traffic to one lane in each direction during off-peak periods. In the final stages of the project, anticipated in late 2026, Kingston Road will be reduced to one lane in each direction for longer durations to facilitate construction.

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

Municipal construction projects include the use of equipment which may cause noticeable noise and vibration for nearby residents and businesses. The Region realizes that the construction work will be disruptive and will make every effort to complete the work as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Businesses
Businesses will remain open for the duration of construction. The Region recognizes there may be potential impacts during the work and will be implementing the following initiatives to promote community engagement. ‘Open for Business’ signage will be erected throughout the project limits and individual handout cards will be distributed to all local business within the area.
Durham Region offers an overview of what businesses can expect during construction, and some tips on how to minimize inconvenience on your business, at durham.ca/OpenForBusiness.

This project is partially funded through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP).
