Construction Notice: Permanent speed bumps to be installed on Simpson Avenue in Bowmanville

As part of Clarington’s ongoing commitment to community safety, permanent speed bumps will be installed on Simpson Avenue in Bowmanville on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, in the following locations:

• North of Prince Street
• South of Jane Street
• North of Southway Drive

Work is expected to be completed within the day, and access to all fronting properties will be maintained. Traffic control measures will be in place during construction, and minor delays may occur. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

These permanent speed bumps are part of a broader traffic calming strategy designed to enhance safety for all road users. Along with other measures already in place on Simpson Avenue – including a pedestrian crossover with a bump-out and seasonal flex signs – this project aims to reduce vehicle speeds, encourage safer driving habits, and respond to safety concerns raised by residents.
