A stretch of Glenanna Road will remain closed for another three weeks as the Region of Durham continues installing a new watermain in central Pickering.
The City of Pickering has extended the temporary road closure, which now runs from Monday, Nov. 2 to Monday, Nov. 23, 2026. The affected section covers Glenanna Road from the north limit of The Esplanade North to the entrance of the Health Services Centre, roughly 100 metres south of Kingston Road.
Sidewalks also affected
In addition to the road closure, the east sidewalk along that section of Glenanna Road will stay shut. The west sidewalk of Glenanna Road between Pickering Parkway and The Esplanade North will also remain closed.
The city says detours have been set up for both drivers and pedestrians, and signage will be posted throughout the work zone.
Health Services Centre access
Visitors to the Health Services Centre at 1885 Glenanna Road will still be able to reach the building, but the route has changed. According to a City of Pickering service announcement, access is now from Glenanna Road via Kingston Road.
The work is part of the Region of Durham's watermain installation project in the area.
