Please note the above urban road reconstruction projects (project T-501-2023) have been identified as roads that contain asbestos. Asbestos was a popular material widely used in asphalt mixes until the early 1980s to improve the performance of the asphalt. With the below safety precautions in place, the risk of exposure to asbestos for residents, workers, and bystanders is low.

Safety precautions to be taken by the professionals undertaking this work on behalf of the Town include:

Wet the pavement throughout the process, including during asphalt cutting, grinding, and removal to prevent airborne fibres
Transport and dispose of asphalt containing asbestos at provincially approved disposal sites

Residents may also notice those dealing directly with the asphalt material wearing personal protective equipment as a precaution.

Residents who live in or frequent the area where work will be undertaken should avoid the immediate work site during the asphalt removal process.

If you have any questions please contact Ed Reischke, Manager, Municipal Construction at reischkee@whitby.ca or 905-444-3151.
