On Tuesday, temporary traffic signals will be installed at the intersection of Highway 7 West and Aberdeen Avenue/Marycroft Avenue. In addition, overnight paving of the realigned ramp on the Highway 7 bridge over Highway 400 has been rescheduled to next week. Please see below for further details.

temporary traffic signal installation

what you need to know:

• Crews will install temporary traffic poles and attach traffic and pedestrian signals at each corner of the intersection of Highway 7 West and Aberdeen Ave./Marycroft Ave.
• There will be short-term lane closures [9:30am – 3:30pm] around the work area.
• Traffic will continue through the intersection, including left and right turns.
• 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.
• Traffic control staff and paid duty police officers will be on site as required.
• Due to the nature of this work, there will be construction-related noise and vibration around the work area from equipment and trucks.
• After the temporary poles and signals have been installed at each corner of the intersection, the traffic signals will be activated at a later date. We will send an update as soon as it’s scheduled.

overnight ramp closure for paving

what you need to know:

• During paving the ramp will be closed [12am-5am] and detour signs will be in place.
• In addition, two westbound lanes will be closed approaching the ramp and between the westbound on-ramp and the southbound off-ramp [see map on previous bulletin].
• Traffic control staff and paid duty police officers will be on site to direct traffic as required.
• 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.

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.
