Hello,

In preparation for upcoming paving and boulevard work on the west side of Yonge Street, crews will be installing three new fire hydrants on Yonge between Sawmill Valley Drive/Savage Road and Clearmeadow Boulevard/William Roe Boulevard.

work dates*: Wednesday August 16 – Tuesday, August 22
work hours: 7pm-7am, overnight

This week:

• On Wednesday, August 16 and Thursday, August 17, crews will install three fire hydrants on the west side of Yonge, just north and south of the Mulock intersection.
• Crews will start with the fire hydrants south of Mulock, and work their way north.
• Yonge will be reduced to one southbound and one northbound lane for the duration of this work.

Next week:

• On Monday, August 21 and Tuesday, August 22, crews will then tie in the three hydrants to existing water mains on the east side of Yonge.
• Yonge will be reduced to one southbound and one northbound lane for the duration of this work.

Other details:

• Where sidewalks are affected, directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open sidewalk.
• Traffic control staff will be onsite to direct traffic for the duration of this work.
• Due to the nature of this work, there will be construction-related noise and dust from equipment and trucks.
• Please give yourself enough time to get to your destination, and remember to reduce your speed through construction zones.

*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.
