As part of state of good repair maintenance work, crews working on behalf of Metrolinx will be replacing existing track infrastructure at the Davis Drive Crossing. This work will include removing the existing crossing surface to perform a complete track panel replacement, followed by welding and destressing. Once the track work is complete, the crossing surface will be restored and final asphalt paving will be completed.
