Starting on Monday, crews will begin preparing for hydro pole installation along the north side of Highway 7 from just west of Aberdeen Avenue to just east of Nova Star Drive. The new poles will be set further back from the road to accommodate road widening along Highway 7. Please see below for further details.

work dates*: Starting Monday, Feb. 13 for approximately four months
work hours*: 9am–4pm

what you need to know:

• For the next two weeks, crews will be excavating and installing the foundations for the new hydro poles along the north side of Highway 7 from just west of Aberdeen Ave. to just east of Nova Star Dr.
• While the majority of work will be taking place within the boulevard area off the road, there may be occasional rolling curb lane closures around the work area.
• Crews will be moving back and forth along the corridor to complete this work.
• Bus stops and sidewalks will remain open where possible. If a bus stop or sidewalk is 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 and dust from equipment and trucks.
• Installation of the new hydro poles will continue over the next few months. We will communicate more details very soon!

*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.
