Lane restrictions on Wilson Rd. S. and Wentworth St. E.

The Regional Municipality of Durham is advising residents of lane restrictions on Wilson Rd. S. and Wentworth St. E. in the City of Oshawa due to ongoing watermain break repairs.

When: Until the repair is complete.

Where: Lane restrictions are in place at the intersection of Wilson Road South and Wentworth Street East in Oshawa. Eastbound curb lane at Wentworth and Wilson is closed, and all lanes are completely closed on Wilson Road south of Wentworth. 

Why: To safely complete an extended repair to the watermain break.

Note: Businesses and residents in the area may be experiencing a temporary water service interruption or decrease in water pressure for the duration of the repair. When the water service returns to normal, it is important for customers to turn on a cold water tap only and let it run for approximately five to 10 minutes to clean out any sediment that may have accumulated in your water service. This will avoid any sediment entering the hot water system.

The Region realizes that the work is disruptive and will make every effort to complete the work as quickly and efficiently as possible. Drivers are asked to exercise caution for the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and the work crews.
