Location of road closure on Eastern Avenue

What is Happening?

East Harbour Transit Hub construction crews will be disassembling formwork for the new bridge deck over Eastern Avenue. To complete this work, Eastern Avenue will be closed to traffic and pedestrians between Lewis Street and Dibble Street nightly.

What to expect

Construction lighting may be visible from the work site.
Where possible, lights from equipment will be positioned away from residential homes to keep light pollution levels low.
Increased presence of construction vehicles and equipment can be expected in the work area.
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.
Approximately 4 trucks will leave the site each day to move materials overnight. In certain circumstances, trucks may need to operate during the day.

Traffic Changes

Eastern Avenue between Lewis Street and Dibble Street will be closed for the duration of the work. Signage will redirect traffic around the work zones.
A paid duty officer, flaggers and detour signs will be onsite to direct traffic as needed.

Pedestrian Access

Temporary sidewalk closures or pedestrian detours will be in place while the work is underway, with signs in place to direct pedestrians as needed.

Noise and Vibration

Residences and businesses in the area can expect noise and vibration caused by construction equipment related to this work.
To minimize noise impacts on the community, noise monitoring equipment will be installed prior to construction. These devices will help to detect exceedances early to proactively conduct corrective actions as needed while crews work.
Trucks accessing the site will be equipped with broadband backup alarms, which emit a less disruptive sound compared to traditional beeping backup alarms.
