Crews will be pouring concrete on an ongoing basis throughout 2018 to continue building the foundation and roof slabs for the Brentcliffe Portal. Work will be conducted within the existing work zone located on Eglinton Avenue East between Brentcliffe Road and Leslie Street.

Hours of Work

Due to the large size of the concrete pours, work may start as early as 4:00 a.m. and can take up to 15 hours to complete. Concrete pours will take place regularly throughout 2018.

What to Expect
