As part of works to support the construction of the future St. Clair-Old Weston Station, Metrolinx crews will be removing steel pipes from the St. Clair Rail Bridge on the nights of Thursday, June 4 and Friday, June 5. This work is necessary to facilitate a future demolition of the bridge. To complete the work, a full road closure of St. Clair Avenue West between Old Weston Road and Keele Street is needed. This temporary road closure will occur for the duration of the work, from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m, on both nights. Traffic management will be in place and a detour route will be implemented.
