what you need to know

To prepare for the traffic shift, crews will be working overnight to line paint the road, starting at Highway 7, heading north to Carrville/16th.
During the line painting work, north and southbound traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction.
Once line painting is complete, traffic lanes will be shifted to the west side of Yonge and lanes will be narrowed. Two lanes will be maintained in both directions.
Traffic control staff and paid duty police officers will be on site as required.
Where bus stops and sidewalks are affected, directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open bus stop or sidewalk.
Please remember to reduce your speed through construction zones and be mindful of traffic shifts and signs that will help guide you along your way. Always drive with care and give yourself extra time to get to your destination.
