Project Update

Based on most recent capital budget discussions, construction for Durham Road is now scheduled to begin in early 2024. Thank you to everyone who participated in the public consultation in 2022. Residents will receive advance notification prior to construction

What to Expect Next

Once design is completed the project team will put the project out for public tender with construction starting in the late spring or summer of 2023. Residents and businesses will receive notification prior to construction.

Project Background

Durham Road has been identified as a critical corridor on the Town's Alternate Truck Route network in Beamsville and is adjacent to the new West Niagara Secondary School on King Street near the Grimsby border. These new conditions, in combination with the existing land-uses on Durham Road, require the roadway to be reconstructed to a standard that can accommodate increased vehicular and heavy truck traffic.

Project Description

This project involves reconstructing Durham Road from King Street to South Service Road.

The Town's Transportation Master Plan (TMP) assessed short-term solutions to find viable routes to redirect truck traffic from the downtown area of Beamsville, recommending that Durham Road become an alternate truck route.

Proposed Construction Improvements

  • Complete road reconstruction on Durham Road between King Street and the South Service Road to a standard suitable for heavy truck traffic.
  • Intersection improvements at King Street and South Service Road to improve truck turning movements.
  • Active Transportation review and coordination at the King Street intersection.
  • Roadway illumination.
  • Drainage and stormwater improvements, including ditches, etc.
  • CNR at-grade crossing improvements as required.
  • Landscaping and tree planting improvements.
  • Utility relocations as necessary.

The project will align with several of the Town's plans, including:


Next Steps

Residents will receive an invitation to attend a public consultation through a Public Notice. And will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the project. Please continue to check in with this page for further updates.

    Why is this reconstruction taking place? It would be easier to pass a comment if this information was included in the newspaper ads. Thank you.

    Following the TMP recommendations, the Town recently completed the Beamsville Truck Route Implementation Study outlining a preliminary design strategy that recommended Durham Road be upgraded and reconstructed.
