Roads and Traffic

The Regional Municipality of Durham's Works Department plans, designs, builds and maintains the Regional Road Network. This includes bridges, storm sewers, traffic signals, signs, pavements marking and guiderails on Regional roads.

We also work with storm sewers, traffic signals, signs and guiderails.
