Starting Monday, crews will be working on the east side of Bathurst from just south of the Westmount Blvd. intersection to just north of Flamingo Rd. to prepare for water main pipe installation. We are also happy to report that crews have successfully installed the first water main segment for the Bathurst Street water main replacement. Please see below for further details on the upcoming work:

work dates*: Monday, July 25 to Friday, August 5
work hours*: 7am–7pm, lane closure 9:30am–3:30pm

what you need to know

• In Work Area 1, crews will be directional drilling from just south of Westmount Blvd. to just north of Flamingo Rd.
• In addition, crews will be utility daylighting – which means exposing underground utilities using a hydrovac truck – so that underground utilities can be monitored during drilling.
• To accommodate this work, northbound Bathurst will be reduced to one lane from 9:30am to 3:30pm.
• At the end of each day, the work areas will be plated. Please watch for bumps.
• Once the drilling has been completed in Work Area 1, the new water main pipe will be installed which is expected to occur mid-next week. More details to be provided.
• The next location of the drilling operation will be Work Area 2 – just north of Flamingo to the Highway 407 ETR eastbound ramp.
• Efforts have been made to keep sidewalks open wherever possible. If a sidewalk is closed, directional signs will be onsite to help guide pedestrians.
• Transit will continue service on Bathurst and Centre during this activity. Wherever possible, bus stops will remain open. If a bus stop is temporarily closed, signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open bus stop.
• Due to the nature of this work, at times there will be construction-related noise, dust and vibration from equipment and trucks.
• There may be some noise prior to 7am as crews assemble and arrange the equipment they require.
• Please give yourself enough time to get to your destination, and remember to reduce your speed through construction zones.

*Please note: As with other road construction projects, some work may be rescheduled due to weather or other variables. Some overnight and/or weekend work may be required. We’ll provide advance notice whenever possible.

We understand that construction can be disruptive and we thank you for your patience as we transform Bathurst & Centre. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
