Major Construction and Renewal Projects
Road Designs for Northwood Business Park Area
The City of Oshawa (City) is working with The Regional Municipality of Durham (Region) to complete the detailed designs for several roads in the Northwood Business Park area. These roads are being designed to support growth & development as well as existing residents in the area. The project includes the detailed design for water mains, sanitary sewers and storm sewers. We are also working with utility companies to ensure any potential conflicts are identified early in the process and required relocations can be completed in advance of construction where possible
The City is responsible for the design of the roads, drainage and storm sewer systems, street lighting, and pedestrian amenities. The Region is responsible for the design of the water main and sanitary sewer, including all related services.
Proposed Design Details (also see site map)
- Thornton Rd. N. - Conlin Rd. W. to Winchester Rd. W. (being designed for a two-phase construction approach)
- The limits of phase one are from the north side of Conlin Rd W to the Nesbitt Bridge. The design of phase one will include a two-lane rural section with paved shoulders, a proposed storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water main. This design will include an intersection at Britannia Ave. W., with stop control signage on the Britannia leg of the intersection.
- The limits of phase two are from the north side of Conlin Rd. W. to Winchester Rd W. The design of phase two will include a four-lane urban section as per City of Oshawa standard for Arterial Roads OS-209, with curb & gutter, sidewalks, a multi-use pathway, and catch basins. This design will also include a roundabout at the intersection of Britannia Ave. W and will require the replacement of the Nesbitt Bridge. The phase 2 design will be completed to a 90% stage as part of this design assignment for future construction.
