Hello,

Starting overnight on Monday, crews will be connecting service to the water main that was installed at the corner of Yonge Street and Eagle Street. Crews will also disconnect the existing water main.

work dates*: Monday, September 11 – Thursday, September 14
work hours: 7pm-7am, overnight

what you need to know

• Crews will connect service to the water mains, starting on the southeast side of the intersection, working west. Crews will also disconnect the existing water main.
• There will be northbound and southbound curb lane closures in the work zones.
• At times, traffic on Yonge will be reduced to one northbound and one southbound lane through the intersection.
• Due to the nature of this work, there will be construction-related noise and dust from equipment and trucks.

crews dedicated to minimize disruption where possible:

• Limit the reversing of vehicles with back-up safety beeper
• Aim headlights away from buildings and homes
• Reduce the banging noise from dump truck tailgates
• Set up portable lights in a way that limits upcasting onto buildings
• Ensure equipment is well maintained and running well

We understand that overnight work is disruptive to those who live and work in the area, and have taken steps to reduce the impacts where possible. While we aim to balance the needs of commuters, businesses, area residents, the community at large and the project, night work is sometimes unavoidable. Read more about how we balance the needs of the corridor in our recent blog working day and night.

*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 quickly to complete this work. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
