Current Project Status Map of the Yonge Street road closure in Holland Landing

The Enhance EG Yonge Street Revitalization project is transitioning to a single phase, scheduled for completion by late August 2026. For the remainder of the project traffic controls will remain in place. Road closures will take place throughout the project as needed. Signage will be in place to guide travellers. 

Local access to all properties within the work zone, including homes and businesses, the Holland Landing Fire Station and the Holland Landing Community Centre and Library, will be maintained during construction.

 Project Background

The Yonge Street Revitalization is a collaborative project between the Town and York Region that seeks to revitalize downtown Holland Landing along the Yonge Street corridor through streetscape and infrastructure improvements. The core project area focuses on Yonge Street from Mount Albert Road to Doane Road. 

The project seeks to advance a 1.7 km multi-use path within the downtown core of Holland Landing establishing a key active transportation linkage and extension of the Region’s Lake to Lake Trail network through the community of Holland Landing. In addition to the multi-use path, below are some key components being constructed as part of the project:

  • Utility relocation/extension within the corridor by Enbridge Gas
  • Storm sewer and watermain replacement in advance of road works
