overnight work and Davis Drive intersection changes at Barbara and Longford June 25

June 24, 2015

Crews will be shifting Davis Drive traffic to its final configuration from Barbara Road to Longford/Parkside Drive, in order to continue rapidway construction. Once traffic is shifted, line painting will take place overnight between Yonge and Longford. See below for more details.

Once the traffic shift is complete, there will be permanent changes to how motorists and pedestrians use the Longford and Barbara intersections. As of Friday morning, motorists will be able to make u-turns on Davis at the intersections of Barbara and Longford/Parkside from either direction.

Work dates: Thursday, June 25 – Friday, June 26*
Work times: From approximately 7am – 7am [note: this includes overnight work]

how to access businesses between Longford and Barbara

  • Left-turns from the Davis entrance into Goodyear Mars Tire [135 Davis] will no longer be possible. Motorists will only be able to make right-turns into and out of the Davis driveway and can also access Goodyear Mars Tire from Barbara Road.
  • Drivers will be able to make left-turns and u-turns from Davis at the intersections of Barbara and Longford/Parkside when the dedicated left-turn traffic signal is illuminated. Please follow the posted u-turn permitted signs.
  • Access to the 200 Davis plaza and Tim Hortons will remain the same.
  • For more information about how vehicles will navigate at intersections on Davis, please watch the intersection turning movements video and visit vivanext.com.
