what you need to know:

• This week, crews will be preparing for temporary pole and wire installation starting next week at the Highway 7 & Bathurst St. connector road.
• Crews will install temporary traffic poles at each corner of the intersection and will then string up traffic signals and attach pedestrian signals.
• There will be short-term curb lane closures around the work areas as crews conduct this work, including on eastbound and westbound Highway 7.
• Additionally, one southbound lane on the connector road will be closed around the work area.
• Traffic control staff and paid duty police officers will be on site to direct traffic as required.
• Where possible, sidewalks will remain open. Where sidewalks are affected, directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest available option.
• After the temporary poles and signals have been installed, the traffic signals will be activated at a later date. Details to be provided.
• 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. We are committed to providing advance notice whenever possible.

Update: Due to the weather expected tomorrow, please note that the hydro pole installation work that was scheduled for tomorrow has been re-scheduled for Friday, April 7. Follow us on Twitter @vivanext for more updates!

We understand that construction can be disruptive and we thank you in advance for your patience during this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
