Starting Monday, March 1, the City of Toronto is closing:
- McRae Drive between Airdrie and Millwood Roads,
as crews modify and upgrade the storm- and sanitary-sewer systems in the area to reduce basement flooding.
Crews are:
- excavating the road and digging a trench to access and install the new sewers;
- replacing City-owned water service pipes that do not meet City standards from the sewer and water mains to private-property lines; and
- restoring all work areas with asphalt, concrete or grass when they’ve finished working underground.
The TTC is detouring buses along this route, while the street is closed:
Construction on McRae Drive and the resulting TTC detour continue until March 12.
