Yonge watermain job brings 6-months of closures

Yonge St. north of the 401 will be a place to avoid for the next six months. Work to replace the watermain will cause closures and narrowing of the street from now until next May (2014). The zone is roughly between Sheppard Ave. and Finch Ave. and it starts tomorrow (Friday, October 4, 2013). The City says crews will be working daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Work at intersections with traffic signals and on most water service connections will be done between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. If you travel up there, check the City’s website.
