what you need to know:

There will be temporary southbound curb lane closures and some right-turn lane closures required in the work areas along Yonge from Levendale to Canyon Hill. More information about these lane closures will be provided as work progresses.
Wherever possible, sidewalks will remain open. If a sidewalk is closed, directional signage will be on site to guide pedestrians.
Access will be maintained to properties in work areas; however driveways may be reduced or temporarily disrupted. Advance notice will be provided wherever possible.
Some bus stop relocations may be required for this work. Where bus stops are affected, directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open bus stop.
Some weekend and overnight work will be required.
The large equipment used for these operations will be stored along the boulevards for the duration of this work.
Please give yourself enough time to get to your destination, and remember to reduce your speed through construction zones.
Due to the nature of this work, at times, there will be construction-related noise, dust and vibration from equipment and trucks.

*Please note: As with all construction projects, some work may be re-scheduled due to weather. We’ll provide advanced notice when possible.
