Metrolinx and its contractors continue construction of the Hurontario light rail transit line in Mississauga and Brampton.

To accommodate upcoming LRT construction, the contractors have to install new water-main and sanitary-sewer lines under

• Rathburn Road West between west of Duke of York Boulevard to Hurontario Street; and
• Rathburn Road East just east of Hurontario Street.

Starting Monday, August 30, crews work on Rathburn East at the Hurontario overpass and over the next three months gradually shift the work zone westwards towards Duke of York. At each site, the work zone restricts traffic to just one lane in each direction, with left-turn lanes at each intersection.

Brampton Transit passengers aboard buses along this route can expect delays:

• 502 Züm Main.

Since Monday, June 21, BT has relocated its stop from platform L on the south side of Rathburn West, just west of the bus exit from City Centre Terminal to platform O on the north side of Rathburn beyond Station Gate Road.

GO Transit passengers aboard buses along these routes can expect delays near the work zone.

In late September and October, the work zone blocks traffic on Hammerson Boulevard just south of Rathburn West. Each of these closures continue for 24 hours so crews can safely install the water main.
