Metrolinx is building the Eglinton Crosstown, Toronto’s new 19-kilometre light rail transit (LRT) line that will run along Eglinton Avenue with a central 10 km underground section. The Crosstown 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. With 25 stations and stops and connections to 3 TTC subway stations, 54 local bus routes, 3 GO Transit lines and the UP Express, the Crosstown will improve travel times and change the way we move through the heart of the city.

Extension of Overnight Utility Work at Mount Pleasant Station: Sunday June 28 – Tuesday July 7, 2020

What Work is Taking Place?

From Sunday June 28 – Tuesday July 7, 2020 crews at Mount Pleasant Station will work overnight to install the permanent catch basins on Eglinton Avenue East at Mount Pleasant Road. This work requires rolling lane closures. Eglinton Avenue will be reduced to one lane only, alternating traffic in each direction, while this work takes place. To minimize impact to the travelling public, this work will be performed overnight, when traffic is lighter. 

 

Work will take place between 7:00 p.m. – 7:00 a.m. During this time, noise from construction equipment, such as an excavator, hydro-vacuum, trucks, and generators, as well as site lighting can be expected. Crews will endeavour to minimize disruption as much as possible. Traffic control personnel and/or a paid duty officer will be present while this work takes place.
