New Traffic Configuration on Hurontario Street from Park Street to Harborn Road

Beginning mid-July, 2022

What work is taking place? To accommodate construction of the Hurontario LRT, new watermain, storm and sanitary, hydro and telecommunications infrastructure is currently being installed mostly along the east side of Hurontario Street.


This infrastructure is on the main artery servicing residents and businesses along Hurontario Street between Park Street and Harborn Road and must be re-routed and upgraded to ensure reliable service to customers.

Beginning mid-July 2022 active lanes of traffic and staged construction areas will flip to be set up along the west side of Hurontario Street where road widening, and other related construction activities will take place. The project will maintain at least one lane of traffic in each direction south of the QEW as well as turning lanes (where feasible).

Please note, work may be rescheduled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. If you require the most up-to-date information, please reach out to peel@metrolinx.com.
