what you need to know:
- Crews will begin paving the rapidway on Highway 7 West, both east and westbound, from the CN Bridge to the GO Barrie Bridge, east of Bowes/Baldwin.
- Each intersection [see map] will experience a 3-hour interruption, one at a time, as crews pave through and allow for the asphalt to cool.
- The Keele intersection is scheduled to be paved first, and then Bowes/Baldwin.
- This means that during this time there will be no north or southbound movement through the intersection.
- Traffic wishing to head north or south through the intersection will be detoured to next intersection to make U-turn.
- Paid duty police officers will be on site to help direct traffic.
- Bus stops and sidewalk access may be shift during this operation. Signs will be placed onsite to guide pedestrians.
- There will be construction-related noise from equipment and trucks.
- 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.
