A Peter Matthews Drive closure in Pickering was announced by Durham Regional Police on Monday, November 2, while officers investigated a collision.
The closure covers the stretch from Taunton Road to Alexander Knox Road. Police asked drivers to find an alternative route.
Collision investigation prompts closure
The official notice did not give a reopening time. It also did not describe the vehicles involved, provide an injury assessment or explain what led to the collision.
The Peter Matthews Drive closure reported here is an unplanned police investigation, not a new announcement about scheduled road-construction work in the area.
Drivers should check the Durham Regional Police traffic notice for subsequent updates before travelling through the affected stretch. The November 2 notice establishes the closure at the time it was issued; it does not establish how long the restriction will remain in place.
