The City of Oshawa, Ontario, will close a portion of Colborne Street West to through traffic on Wednesday, March 18, 2026. This closure is necessary to allow crews to safely set up a crane in the area.

The road will be blocked off between Kaiser Crescent and Centre Street North for the duration of the work. Drivers who usually use this route should plan for extra travel time or find a different way around the construction site to avoid delays.

Local officials say the closure is a standard step to ensure safety while the heavy machinery is installed. The street is expected to reopen to through traffic once the crane setup is finished.
