what you need to know

• The gas main will be installed using directional drilling, a tunneling technique that minimizes disruption and excavation. Trenches will also be used in select areas.
• Crews will then connect gas services to the new gas main, filling trenches and restoring the road and boulevard.
• The pedestrian sidewalk on the west side of Yonge between Clearmeadow and Eagle will be closed for the duration of this work.
• To walk between Clearmeadow and Eagle, pedestrians have access to the sidewalk on the east side of Yonge. Watch for directional signage.
• For pedestrians wanting to access 17070 Yonge from Eagle, a temporary sidewalk will be installed.
• For drivers, access to 17000, 17030 and 17070 Yonge will remain the same.
• Temporary lane closures may be required to load or unload equipment.
• Traffic control staff and paid duty officers will be on site as required.
• There will be construction-related noise, dust and vibration disturbances from equipment and trucks. Some weekend work may be required.
