Road Closures
Road closures and lane restrictions are sometimes necessary to complete emergency repairs and planned road improvement projects. York Region is committed to re-opening roads as quickly as possible so traffic flow can return to normal.
Current and upcoming planned road closures and lane restrictions
| Municipality | Road | Date and Time | Project Details |
|---|---|---|---|

During the temporary road closures and lane restrictions listed above, road sections will be closed to through traffic; however, roads will be open to local traffic on either end of the closure. If through traffic will be maintained, it will be noted under each project.
