Traffic lanes and the pedestrian sidewalk will be shifted to the south side of Eglinton Avenue between Black Creek Drive and Bicknell Avenue.

Work is expected to begin as early as August 17th and last for approximately 4-6 months.

Traffic and Pedestrian Details 

• Traffic lanes and the pedestrian sidewalk will be shifted to the south side of Eglinton Avenue between Black Creek Drive and Bicknell.
• The sidewalk on the north side of Eglinton Avenue from Black Creek Drive to Bicknell Avenue will be closed.
