The Regional Municipality of Durham has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study for improving Bowmanville Avenue (Regional Road 57) from Baseline Road to Nash Road through the Bowmanville urban area in Clarington.

The project is divided into several segments:

South of King Street West (Regional Highway 2) to north of Stevens Road: Currently in the construction phase.
Baseline Road to South of King Street West (Regional Highway 2): Currently in the design phase.
North of Stevens Road to Nash Road: Currently in the design phase.

For more detailed information, residents can refer to the specific project segment links provided by the Regional Municipality of Durham.
