Sawmill Road at Ebycrest Road
Overview
Project number: 07553 | Updated: February 2025
The Region of Waterloo is constructing a single-lane roundabout at the Sawmill Road and Ebycrest Road intersection in Woolwich. This decision is based on technical studies and the Region's current experience with roundabouts and input received from the public during the engagement period.
The technical studies for this project show:
- A roundabout would result in fewer injury collisions than the signalized intersection
- A roundabout would result in fewer delays to all users
- Life cycle cost of a roundabout is equal or better than the traffic signal with left turn lanes
- A roundabout would reduce idling times resulting in fuel savings and reduced emissions
