Kingston Road Bus Rapid Transit construction from Rotherglen Road to west of Harwood Avenue in Ajax

Whitby, Ontario – Durham Region is advising residents of upcoming construction for the second segment of Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit (DSBRT) along Kingston Road (Regional Highway 2) from Rotherglen Road to approximately 300 metres west of Harwood Avenue in the Town of Ajax.

When: April 20, 2026 to July 2027. Unfavourable weather conditions may impact the work schedule. 

Where: Lane shifts and lane restrictions will be in place during off-peak times on Kingston Road from Rotherglen Road to approximately 300 metres west of Harwood Avenue in Ajax. Beginning fall 2026, Kingston Road will be reduced to one lane in each direction for longer durations to facilitate construction of the new median transit stop platforms.

Why: To safely construct the second segment of the DSBRT line.  

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

Bus routes, bus stops, sidewalks and businesses will remain open for the duration of construction. For more information, visit durham.ca/BRTRotherglenToHarwood.
