Yonge Street is currently closed in both directions between the Dutch Settlers Square Plaza entrance and Dutch Settlers Court. Access to local businesses and community facilities will be maintained via signed detour routes. All pedestrian access, including the multi-use pathway, will be rerouted. Pedestrians can also follow signed detour routes.

Queen Street Closure - This closure has been extended to allow for the contractor to install two retaining walls at the northwest and southwest corners of the Yonge Street intersection. Works are anticipated to be completed by the end of day, June 19th, pending favourable weather conditions.

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.  

The Enhance EG Yonge Street Revitalization project will be transitioning to a single phase closure in late August 2026. This means the road closures between Mount Albert Road and Doane Road will be removed. This fall, and for the remainder of the project, there will be lane restrictions and traffic controls as required and/or minor road closures as needed. Signage will be in place to guide travellers.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as these important infrastructure improvements are completed. 

What is being worked on this week:

  • Continued preparation and installation of new curbs south of Bradford/Thompson.
  • Culvert and pedestrian bridge replacement is on-going with this week focusing on the removal of the existing culvert now that shoring is in place. Yonge Street is fully closed between Dutch Settlers Plaza and Dutch Settlers Court.
  • Multi-use path base preparation and grading is on-going South of Olive Street.
  • Continued closure of Queen Street while the retaining walls are being installed.
  • Guild Electric is drilling for light pole foundations north of Olive/Beckett, making their way south.

 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.

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
