West Toronto Diamond Construction: Road Closure mid-June to mid-November
A full road closure of Old Weston Road and Junction Road is necessary for pile validation work across the road.
For safety reasons, pedestrian access will also be closed during this time. Signage will be posted prior to the road closure.

Project Description
Work will focus in the Old Weston and Junction Roads area. Soil will be removed from within the pipe piles and replaced with concrete and sealing materials to create water-tight walls for the train underpass. A small number of piles will be replaced using vibration and some impact hammer - similar to the methods used in the latter part of 2010.

Looking Ahead
For two weeks in early July, during CP Rail’s annual track closure, we will complete the pile validation work beneath the connecting tracks. Extended work hours will be needed to complete the work during this tight timeline. We will inform the community of the extended hours prior to work beginning.

Public Meeting
Tuesday, June 21, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. (presentation at 7:00 p.m.)
Annette Street Public Library, 145 Annette Street
