Bridge Replacement on Richmond Hill Line: East Don Trail Closures
September 6 – December 23
Project Overview
The Maintenance Delivery department is in the process of reconstructing a bridge on the Richmond HillLine which spans over the Don River and East Don Trail, just north of Eglinton Avenue. This maintenancework is anticipated to result in construction noise persisting throughout the day and night. We appreciateyour understanding and cooperation with this important state of good repair work.Public Safety MeasuresThe project team has determined that to ensure public safety, the East Don Trail will need to beintermittently closed near the bridge during the construction weekends. This is necessary to ensure publicsafety while loads are lifted directly over/adjacent to the trail, and during select track construction activities.Closures are anticipated to be intermittent during each of the identified closure dates, ranging fromminutes to hours in length, depending on the activity. Every effort will be taken to minimize the number andduration of such closures.
Location: As with all construction, work may be adjusted, rescheduled or extended due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.
On each of the below noted date ranges, trail closures may take place between 8:00 PM on the start date and 4:00 AM on the end date.•
