Improvements coming to Donald Cousens Parkway

Transportation improvements prepare York Region to meet the needs of motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and transit users today and into the future. York Region is making improvements to Donald Cousens Parkway.

Duration: May 2024 to July 2024

Road improvements

• Initial work includes concrete repairs
• Once complete, a road preservation treatment, called microsurfacing, will be applied to Donald Cousens Parkway
• Microsurfacing is a common and cost-effective way to maintain roads with minor defects and extends the road’s life
• Road surfaces can feel rougher and sound noisier after treatment, but over time, stone will settle and surfaces will become quieter

Impacts to travellers

Lane closures are limited to:

• Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• The road will remain open to through traffic; however, lane closures are required 
• Access to homes and businesses may be temporarily disrupted

As with all construction projects, work may be rescheduled due to weather. York Region will provide advance notice where possible.

Thank you for your patience during the construction period. We understand road construction creates challenges for the community and we are working to deliver this project with minimal disruption. If you have any questions or concerns, staff will be pleased to respond. Contact us using any method noted below and quote “Contract: 24-182D” in your inquiry.

Accessible formats of this notice and communication supports are available upon request.
