Hello,
Tonight, in order to accommodate road widening and storm sewer work on the south side of Centre Street, there will be a traffic shift tonight from Vaughan Boulevard/Carl Tennen Street to Dufferin Street. In addition, starting tomorrow, crews will be installing storm sewers on the south side of Centre Street between New Westminster Drive and Dufferin St. Please see below for further details.

- IIn preparation for future road widening, crews will be shifting both eastbound and westbound lanes on Centre toward the north side of the street, from Vaughan Blvd/Carl Tennen St. to Dufferin.
- This lane shift will be in place for several months.
- At 8pm tonight, Centre will be reduced to one lane in each direction both eastbound and westbound in order for crews to remove old traffic lines and paint new ones.

*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. Check twitter.com/vivanext for last-minute updates.
We understand that overnight work is disruptive to those who live and work in the area, and have taken steps to reduce the impacts where possible. While we aim to balance the needs of commuters, businesses, area residents, the community at large and the project, night work is sometimes unavoidable. Read more about how we balance the needs of the corridor in our recent blog working day and night. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
