As part of the transformation of Yonge Street in Newmarket, we will be building a number of retaining walls along Yonge. Crews will begin building a retaining wall at 17255 Yonge Street, at the southeast corner of Yonge Street and Gladman Avenue starting Monday. Retaining walls are built to provide stability between two areas of land that sit at different heights. The retaining wall is used to hold the slope in place and support the higher level of ground.

work dates: Monday, October 26 for approximately three months*
work hours: 7am-7pm*

what you need to know

• The northbound curb lane on Yonge will be intermittently occupied beside the work area during off peak hours for the duration of the work.
• The sidewalk on the east side of Yonge will be closed at Gladman. Please follow signs to help guide you to your destination.
• YRT and Go Transit will continue service on Yonge during this activity. Bus stops may be relocated or closed as work progresses. Look for signs and follow directions.
