Enhance EG – Holland Landing Yonge Street Revitalization Project Update  
As part of the Yonge Street Revitalization project, the temporary road closure on Yonge Street will be modified beginning August 28, 2026. 

Yonge Street remains closed south of Dutch Settlers Boulevard. Residents can access Yonge Street from all other points, except for this closure.

The closure between Bradford Street/Thompson Drive and Doane Road will remain in place until Friday, October 2, due to safety concerns with the installation of a culvert. This section was originally expected to reopen in late August.

Thank you for your patience as improvements continue in our community. Visit eastgwillimbury.ca/YongeSt to learn more about the project or sign up for project updates.

Continue supporting our local businesses during construction. Visit AdvantageEG.ca/EGLovesLocal for details on where to shop, dine or access services in Holland Landing.
