storm sewer installation at Yonge and Clearmeadow

Crews are continuing to install new underground storm sewer pipes and drains along Yonge Street in Newmarket. Starting tomorrow, crews will be installing a storm sewer across Clearmeadow Boulevard, starting on the southwest corner of the intersection and working their way north.

work dates*: Wednesday, July 5, for approximately three days
work hours*: 7pm-7am

what you need to know:

• Crews will be digging a trench across Clearmeadow to install a new storm sewer line. Crews will then backfill and pave the work area.
• Work will start at the south corner of Clearmeadow, and move north.
• Traffic on Clearmeadow will be reduced to one eastbound and one westbound lane. The two lanes will be shifted across Clearmeadow as work progress south to north.
• For safety reasons, at times, crews may be required to reduce Clearmeadow down to one shared lane for a short period. Paid duty police officers will be on-site to direct traffic. There may be short-term delays at times.
• Traffic control staff and paid duty police officers will be onsite to direct traffic for the duration of this work.
• Where sidewalks are affected, directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open sidewalk.

*Please note: As with all construction projects, some work may be re-scheduled due to weather. We’ll provide advanced notice when possible. Watch twitter.com/vivanext for last-minute updates.
