Yonge Street - Notice of Road Construction and Traffic Impacts
Transportation improvements prepare York Region to meet the needs of all travellers today and into the future.
Description:
- Large hydro poles will be installed on Yonge Street between Davis Drive and Green Lane
- Road closures are necessary due to hydro poles’ size, height and weight and to safely accommodate work and travellers
This work is part of utility relocations for road widening. Improvements will accommodate growth and provide the community with more travel options.
Similar hydro pole installation. Poles range in height from 75 to 96 feet.
Impacts to Travellers:
- Sections of Yonge Street will be temporarily closed to traffic for periods of 15 minutes or less when hydro poles are being installed
- Travellers will experience reduced lanes when the equipment is positioned to place the poles
- Police will be on-site to help direct traffic
Duration:
- Short-duration road closures and lane reductions will take place in February and March 2024
- Closures are expected to take less than 15 minutes for each hydro pole and will move along the corridor as work progresses
As with all road construction projects, work may be rescheduled due to weather. York Region will provide advance notice where possible.
Thank you for your patience. We understand road construction creates challenges. York Region makes every effort to minimize disruptions and keep residents informed with regular construction updates.
