hydro pole installations on Centre & median work on Highway 7

November 06, 2017

Hello,

Starting tomorrow, crews will be installing new hydro poles on Centre Street and conducting median work on Highway 7 between the Bathurst and Yonge Street connector roads. Please see below for further details.

hydro pole installations on Centre:

work dates*: Tuesday, Nov. 7
work hours*: 7am–5pm

  • Tomorrow, crews will be installing two new hydro poles on the north side of Centre St., just west of New Westminster Drive.
  • To accommodate this work, westbound Centre will be reduced to one lane just west of New Westminster.
  • Traffic control staff and paid duty police officers will be on site to direct traffic as required.
  • Wherever possible, sidewalks and bus stops will remain open. If a bus stop or sidewalk is temporarily closed, directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open bus stop or sidewalk.
  • Due to the nature of this work, there will be construction-related noise from equipment and trucks.

median work on Highway 7:

work dates*: Tuesday, Nov. 7 for approximately two weeks
work hours*: 7am–5pm, with 24-hour/day lane closure

  • To accommodate median work, the eastbound median lane on Hwy 7 will be closed between the Bathurst and Yonge connectors.
  • There may be median lane closures on the Yonge connector as well.
  • Please give yourself enough time to get to your destination, and remember to reduce your speed through construction zones.

*Please note: As with all construction projects, some work may be re-scheduled due to weather. We’ll provide advanced notice when possible. Watch twitter.com/vivanext for last-minute 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.
