Beginning this week, crews will be removing median strips on Centre St. in preparation for upcoming water main replacement work. Please see below for details:

work dates*: Monday, June 6 to Friday, June 24
work hours: 7am–7pm

• In preparation for water main replacement work, crews will be removing median strips (the areas that separate opposing lanes of traffic) on Centre Street.
• Crews will be starting with the median strip that is east of Bathurst St., working their way west towards Dufferin St.
• This work will require one eastbound and westbound lane closure around each median strip, as crews complete this task in three steps.

1. Medians will be removed, one at a time, moving from east to west.
2. Next, crews will pave each area where median strips were removed.
3. Finally, crews will paint traffic lines.

• There will be construction-related noise from equipment and trucks.
• Please give yourself enough time to get to your destination, and remember to reduce your speed through construction zones. In a few weeks’ time, there will be reduced speed limit signs posted. Please keep an eye out for these.

*Please note: As with other road construction projects, some work may be rescheduled due to weather or other variables. We are committed to providing advance notice whenever possible.
