Starting Wednesday, May 1, weather permitting, crews will begin to mobilize to complete planned carry-over work for Phase 2 of the East London Link, requiring road closures with local road access until approximately late summer. The closures are:
- Dundas Street from Ontario Street to Egerton Street
- Ontario Street between Dundas Street and King Street
- King Street from Lyle Street to Ontario Street
During this time, people driving through the area are advised to travel with caution in the construction zone when visiting local destinations and businesses. Manhole lids will start being raised and marked with orange paint in preparation for paving the road around mid-summer.
With the construction season beginning to pick up, now is the time to check if your commute is impacted, give yourself extra time, and plan ahead using a navigational app such as Waze or Google Maps.
LTC service changes
Some transit routes may be impacted during construction. For all detours and the most up-to-date service information, please visit the LTC website or follow LTC on Twitter @LTCLdnOnt.
Business access during construction
Local traffic and pedestrian access will be maintained throughout construction for visitors to access all businesses and destinations in Old East Village.
Motorists wishing to use the parking lot next to The Market at Western Fair District will access it from Rectory Street and Florence Street. Navigational signage will be in place to help visitors reach the parking lot.
