As part of the next phase of gas main installation, Enbridge crews will be working along Highway 7 West, between Hillside Avenue and Bowes Road/Baldwin Avenue. This work will happen in segments throughout the duration of work on Highway 7 West. Please see details below about these next two segments.

Dates*: Beginning October 7, until mid-January 2014

Hours of work: 7am to 7pm

Work locations: Crews will be working on the boulevards along the north and south sides of Highway 7 West, from Hillside Avenue to Bowes Road/Baldwin Avenue.

Description of work:

• Digging trenches, drilling, laying and installing new gas pipes
• Connecting gas services to the new gas main, filling trenches and restoring the road and boulevard

What impacts will there be?

• There will be temporary east and westbound curb lane closures along Highway 7 West.
• Wherever possible, sidewalks will remain open. If a sidewalk is closed, directional signage will be onsite to guide pedestrians.
• Access will be maintained to driveways in work areas.
• Bus stops will be temporarily relocated as the gas work moves down the corridor. Where bus stops are affected, directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open bus stop.
• Traffic control staff and paid duty officers will be on site as required.
• There will be construction-related noise from equipment and trucks.
• Some weekend work may be required.
