2nd Dug Hill Road closure: Highway 2 to Appledene Drive beginning April 13
2nd Dug Hill Road will be closed beginning April 13 from Highway 2 south to Appledene Drive while construction begins on the 2nd Dug Hill Road urbanization project. Construction closures as part of this project will last into fall 2026. During construction, several temporary closures and detour routes will be in effect. Updates will be provided throughout the project.
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.
