Approximate location of boreholes

What is Happening?

We need to drill a number of boreholes to investigate what's underground. This work is needed to support the replacement of Birchmount Bridge to the east of Eastwood and Kimridge Aves. We need to carry this out in the evening when no trains are running on the Lakeshore East railway corridor.

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.
Trucks and construction equipment may generate dust during construction.
Crews will take precautions to monitor and reduce dust.
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.

Traffic Changes

Minor delays may be experienced near the work zone.
Two-way directional traffic will be maintained during the work.

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 may experience noise and vibration caused by construction equipment related to this work.
Crews will take measures to minimize disruptions to the surrounding area wherever possible.
Trucks accessing the site will be equipped with broadband backup alarms, which emit a less disruptive sound compared to traditional beeping backup alarms.
