Highway 401 / Brock Whitby construction: DRT, GO detours, starting May 4



Starting Monday, May 4, the Region of Durham and the Town of Whitby are closing

  • Brock Street South Whitby (Regional Road 46) between Consumers Drive and the Whitby GO Station access road

to accommodate the project.

Durham Region Transit is detouring buses along these routes, while the street is closed:

  • 301 West Lynde;
  • 302 Baldwin - Brock;
  • 303 Garden;
  • 304 Anderson;
  • 305 Thickson;
  • 910 Campus Connect.

DRT has not announced details of detours, other than to explain that Henry Street is the alternate route into and out of Whitby GO Station bus terminal. However a DRT notice from last October, when the construction project previously blocked this section of Brock South, suggests possible detour routes.
