The line will connect Mount Dennis in the west to Kennedy Road in the east, and the new service will be up to 60% faster than the bus service today.
Geophysical studies for future Oakwood Station
What work is taking place?
·
A crew will be conducting geophysical studies to determine the soil characteristics in the area.
·
The test is done by hitting the bare asphalt with a solid pipe, which produces a dull thud. The seismic signal produced by this hit is recorded by instruments on the ground.
·
This is a non-destructive non-invasive test carried out along a straight line.
·
The test is done at nine meter intervals.
When:
·
The seismic testing is expected to take place during the week of March 14, 2016.
·
The work will take place between 11 pm and 5 am, when there is the least car and truck activity on the road.
·
It is estimated work will take less than one night to complete.
·
The work may be rescheduled due to weather conditions.
Where:
·
Our crews will move along Eglinton Avenue West, from Oakwood Avenue to Glenholme Avenue.
Noise
·
Residents near the work site can expect some noise due to testing and use of equipment.
Traffic Details:
·
Temporary lane closures will be required along the westbound lane of Eglinton Avenue West.
·
A paid-duty officer will be in place to provide traffic control assistance at intersections, as required.
·
Access to and from properties will be maintained.
·
As always, please take care when travelling near construction areas.
