The Regional Municipality of York is investing in building a safe, efficient and reliable Regional transportation network for all users. Improvements to the intersection of King Road and Weston Road in the Township of King will support growth and improve traffic flow.

Construction began mid-July 2019 and once completed by fall 2020, improvements will include:

1. Installing left-turn lanes on all four sides of the intersection
2. Improving the condition of Regional roads for motorists by:
   - Flattening the hill on King Road west of Weston Road
   - Repaving King Road from 535 metres west of Weston Road to Highway 400
3. Updating traffic signals and enhancing intersection accessibility
4. Replacing aging infrastructure

Construction Update

A temporary weekend road closure was required to replace three culverts located on King Road between 7th Concession and Weston Road. In the coming months you will see:

• Road widening on King Road to install new left-turn lanes in the northbound and southbound directions
• Traffic signal work to improve traffic flow through the intersection

The intersection will remain open to traffic during construction and access will be maintained, however, temporary lane closures may be required Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and open restrictions on weekends.

We recognize construction can be disruptive and we thank you for your patience and understanding.
