As part of the transformation of Yonge Street in Richmond Hill, we will be building another retaining wall along Yonge. Starting tomorrow, crews will begin building a retaining wall and grading on the east side of Yonge between 19th Avenue and Devonsleigh Boulevard. Retaining walls are built to provide stability between two areas of land at different heights, with the wall supporting the higher level of ground.
Retaining wall activities on the west side of Yonge, south of Gamble are ongoing. At times Yonge will be reduced to one lane north and southbound from Gamble/19th to Nottingham/Devonsleigh during off-peak hours.
work dates*: Wednesday, Feb. 8–Friday, March 31
work hours*: 7am-7pm
*Please note: As with other road construction projects, some work may be rescheduled due to weather. We’ll provide advance notice whenever possible.
Rapidway construction is progressing on Yonge, and we thank you for continuing to support our local shops and businesses. Stop, shop and dine on Yonge! If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
