After the morning rush hour Friday, crews establish a work zone on the streetcar track right-of-way on St Clair to conduct the emergency repairs, while streetcars are still operating. They start breaking concrete to expose the track around 9 a.m. and continue until no later than 9 p.m. that day.

They’ll place new concrete in the track area Saturday after they’ve completed the electrical repairs and allow the concrete to cure overnight.

Since the crews are working in the track area, the project does not impact other traffic.
