Access to Hillside Meadows and Appledene Drive from Highway 2 is now open.
The 2nd Dug Hill Road urbanization project is in its final phase of construction. However, the stretch of road from Highway 2 to Hillside Meadows is now fully open to traffic.
Please note:
While the road will remain open, crews continue to complete final construction work in the area. Please drive with caution.
2nd Dug Hill Road remains closed to through traffic from Hillside Meadows south to Highway 33 for the Trenton trunk sewer project.
Project overview
The 2nd Dug Hill Road urbanization project includes the installation of:
A new multi-use pathway separated from the road with a boulevard
A sidewalk on the west side, separated by a grassed boulevard

The new multi-use pathway will be installed on 2nd Dug Hill from Highway 2 south for approximately 1.6 km and will connect with additional trails being installed along 2nd Dug Hill Road as part of the Trenton West End Trunk Sewer Project.
Construction on the permanent multi-use pathway, sidewalk and road reconstruction will begin this spring.
Until the permanent multi-use pathway is installed, a temporary 1.5m asphalt millings pathway is available from Highway 2 to Appledene Drive (see Figure 1 below) along the east side of 2nd Dug Hill Road. The temporary pathway was installed late 2025.
