Teston Road between Pine Valley Drive and Weston Road in Vaughan will be closed from July 3 to Dec. 31, 2023 for road and bridge improvements.
The road closure is necessary to raise the road and build a new bridge over Purpleville Creek, remove the existing culvert, eliminate the jog at the Teston Road and Pine Valley Drive intersection and install traffic control signals, according to the Regional Municipality of York.
"With a full closure, the work will be completed as quickly, efficiently and safely as possible," the region stated in a news relesae.
Access to all properties will be maintained.
Improvements to Teston Road include:
- Widening and reconstructing the road from two to four lanes
- Realigning the intersection of Teston Road and Pine Valley Drive and adding new traffic signals
- Raising the road and constructing a new 45-metre span bridge at Purpleville Creek, realigning the creek channel, reinstating the natural habitat of the valley lands and installing a new trail connection under the bridge
- Installing new sidewalks, cycling paths and street lighting on both sides of the road
- Streetscaping and tree planting within the boulevards.
York Region will provide advance notice when possible of work required to be rescheduled due to weather conditions.
