Mid-Block Arterial Roadway

The Town of Whitby is constructing a new and major east-west roadway in South Brooklin between Cochrane Street/Highway 7 and Britannia Road in Oshawa (see above image). This six-kilometre stretch of road is currently called the Mid-Block Arterial Roadway.

The new road is being built by the Town to support future growth, connectivity, and economic development opportunities. The road will also accommodate active transportation, like walking and cycling, with a multi-use path on the north side and a sidewalk on the south side.

The project is currently divided into the following four phases of construction:

• Phase 1 (from Ashburn Road to the future Garden Street Extension)
• Phase 2 (from Garden Street Extension to Anderson Street)
• Phase 3 (from Anderson Street to the eastern town limit)
• Phase 4 (from Cochrane Street/Hwy 7 to Ashburn Road)

The Town is currently in Phase 1 of construction, which is anticipated to be completed by early 2025. Timing for future phases will be largely dependent on development, traffic demand, funding and property availability, and project approvals.

The Town is actively working in partnership with developers, affected property owners, and various partner agencies to support this project and help create a more connected community.
