In co-ordination with the City of Oshawa, the work also includes road reconstruction, watermain, sanitary and storm sewer construction on Conlin Rd. from the west city limits to 250 m. west of Stevenson Rd. N. in the City of Oshawa. 

The Region’s contractor, New-Alliance Ltd., anticipates completing the work by October 2023. 

The east driveway and side road to The Durham Region Oshawa/Whitby Depot will be closed from Conlin Rd to 400 m. south of Conlin Rd. beginning Monday, January 16 until late February, weather permitting. The east driveway access from Conlin Rd. will be re-opened to the water filling station and parking lot areas as soon as possible, as the work progresses south. 

During this time customers utilizing the water filling station will be directed to enter using the west depot driveway/ entrance, utilize the signed turn around area and exit using the west depot driveway. Tractor trailers should consider utilizing alternative water filling station locations.
