What is Happening?

• Crews working on behalf of Metrolinx will be preparing for an extended concrete pour near 1A, 1B, 25, 39, and 61 Richview Road.

• The work will help build the concrete base that will support the future guideway deck and transit infrastructure.

• To ensure quality and consistency, the concrete must be poured and finished as one continuous section.

• Due to the volume of concrete required, work may begin earlier than regular construction hours and continue later into the day.

What to expect

  • Where possible, lights from equipment will be positioned away from residential homes to keep light pollution levels low.
  • Trucks and construction equipment may generate dust during construction.
  • Crews will take precautions to monitor and reduce dust.
  • Work areas will be clearly marked or fenced off to ensure public safety.
  • Please exercise caution around active construction sites.
  • Work may be delayed or rescheduled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.
  • Mud mats and a wheel wash system are installed to prevent debris from being tracked onto public roads.

Noise and Vibration
