Crews are now starting to install storm sewers on the east side of Yonge Street, from Millard Avenue East to Davis Drive, for several months.

Starting Monday, crews will be installing a storm sewer across Millard Avenue East, starting on the southeast corner of the Yonge and Millard intersection, working north.

work dates*: Monday, November 20 – Friday, November 24
work hours*: 7am–7pm

what you need to know:

• Crews will be digging a trench across Millard to install a new storm sewer line, starting on the southeast corner. Crews will then backfill and pave the work area, and move north.
• To accommodate this work, Millard will be reduced to one eastbound and one westbound lane at the intersection.
• There will be one northbound curb lane closure around the work area.
• As crews move north, Yonge will be reduced to one northbound lane, between Millard and Davis, during off-peak hours [7am-3pm].
• Traffic control staff and paid duty police officers will be onsite to direct traffic for the duration of this work.
• Bus stops and sidewalks will remain open. If a bus stop or sidewalk is closed, directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open bus stop or sidewalk.
• Due to the nature of this work, there will be construction-related noise and dust from equipment and trucks.

*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.

We thank you for your patience while crews work to complete this work. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
