UPDATE: Overnight and Weekend Work on the Lakeshore West Rail Corridor at Port Credit GO Station

May 2023 to July 2023 between the hours of 9 p.m. to 5 a.m

What work is taking place?

Construction crews will continue overnight activities within the railway corridor at Port Credit GO Station near Hurontario Street. These activities are expected to continue from May 2023 to July 2023 and will allow for grouting and excavation activities to continue while the underpass structure, also known as the Push Box, is pushed into place with minimal disruption to train movements overhead. Once in place, the underpass will allow for light rail vehicles to enter and exit Port Credit GO Station.
In order to complete the work safely and efficiently, crews will be onsite between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. on weeknights when train movements are at a minimum. Some work may also be required on a few nights on the weekends.
We understand that we are building this transformational transit project in a residential area and that overnight work is not ideal. We appreciate your patience and will complete this work as efficiently as possible to get things back to normal for you. We have a dedicated community relations team in place to work with residents and businesses in Peel Region through the construction and operation of this transformational project.

TRAFFIC DETAILS

• This work is localized in the southeast portion of the Port Credit parking lot, directly adjacent to the railway corridor. • Traffic delays are expected where lane reductions already exist for utility and roadwork activities on Hurontario Street. There are no additional traffic impacts related to this work. • Watch for slow moving vehicles entering and exiting work areas. • Remember to reduce your speed when approaching lane reductions.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

• Every effort will be made to minimize disruptions. • Residents and businesses near the work site can expect to hear noise and vibration caused by trucks, excavators, loaders, tri-axles, backhoes, and other construction equipment related to this work.

The Region of Peel Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.

Your water will be turned off on   Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023, from approximately    9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.     If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.

If this interruption may affect an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them.  During the time that the water supply is interrupted, the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function.  A fire watch should be performed as necessary during time period.

After the water interruption:

When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise.  We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor and finishing on the top floor). Flush the toilets as well. You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds.  Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.
