The Regional Municipality of York is beginning months of construction along Bayview Avenue, leading to lane closures through to September.
Construction along the road is getting underway from Mulock Drive south to Wellington Street in Aurora. In addition to intersection improvements along the way, the work will involve replacing the asphalt road surface and culverts.
The region expects to keep the road open to traffic throughout construction, but lane reductions will take place.
“Transportation improvements prepare York Region to meet the needs of motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and transit users today and into the future,” the region said on its website.
The region is also improving intersections. They will upgrade traffic control signals and lighting, reconstruct crosswalk ramps, and add audible pedestrian signs and tactile walking surface indicators.
The intersections to be improved include:
1. Home Depot plaza entrance
2. River Ridge Boulevard
3. Hollidge Boulevard/Borealis Avenue
4. Hollandview Trail/Spring Farm Road
5. Pedersen Drive/Hartwell Way
6. LCBO/Superstore plaza entrance
7. Laurelwood Gate/Brooker Ridge
8. Silken Laumann Drive/Stonehaven Avenue
9. McBean Avenue/Newpark Boulevard
10. Carberry Street
Access to homes and businesses will be maintained throughout construction, the region stated.
Lane closures will will be limited to weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and weeknights from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. for major road works like paving.
“Thank you for your patience during the construction period. We understand road construction creates challenges for the community and we are working to deliver this project with minimal disruption,” the region said.
The project is expected to be complete in September.
