Metrolinx said crews will be mobilizing to take overhead utilities and transfer them underground to remove overhead cable conflicts over the Metrolinx Lakeshore East corridor.
The works are scheduled from today until December in Whitby, said a Metrolinx notice adding that the work start date is tentative and may be rescheduled due to a variety of factors.
“Crews will be using the shoulder lane along Galt Street and Grand Trunk Street. This will begin on March 18th, 2024. There will be no road closures and there will be signage setup to notify residents of the ongoing construction, said the notice.
It said crews will be working within and near the Metrolinx right-of-way. There will be increased traffic and noise in the community from trucks and construction equipment.
Construction is scheduled between 7am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Metrolinx said there will be some impact to residents along Galt Street and Grand Trunk Street as crews will be working on the shoulder lane. Residents will still be able to access Galt Street and Grand Trunk Street and its amenities throughout the construction.
There are no anticipated transit impacts from the upcoming works.
Similar works were scheduled from February 26 to March 29 at Victoria Street East and Thickson Road in Whitby.
