What work is taking place?
As utility upgrades progress in the area, crews will be connecting the newly installed watermain infrastructure along the west and east side of Hurontario Street at Mineola Road. The working hours will take place on Saturday June 3 and Sunday June 4 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. This work will occur in two phases. The first phase will involve the full closure of Mineola Road on the west side of Hurontario Street to complete the new watermain connection there. The second phase will involve the full closure of Mineola Road on the east side of Hurontario Street, once the west side reopens, to complete the new watermain connection there. Work is being scheduled at this time to minimize traffic and overnight noise impacts to nearby residents.
