road widening continues on Yonge Street in Richmond Hill

August 5, 2016

To prepare for the installation of the new water main on Yonge Street from Garden Avenue to Major Mackenzie Drive, a number of tasks will need to be completed ahead of time. Next week, crews will widen the road and pave the next section of Yonge Street between Weldrick Road and Harding Boulevard.

work dates*: Monday, August 8, to Friday, August 26
work hours*: 7am–7pm

what you need to know:

Crews will be working in segments starting from Weldrick and moving north to just south of Harding.
Curb-lane closures will be required in the work areas.
Bus stops and sidewalks 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.
There will be construction-related noise and dust from equipment and trucks.
Please remember to reduce your speed through construction zones.
