Installation of Temporary Traffic Signals at North and South Service Roads at Kennedy Station

What Work is Taking Place?

In support of construction of the future Kennedy Station, crews will be installing new traffic signals 160 metres east of Kennedy Road and Eglinton Avenue East.

Crews will install temporary traffic poles at each corner of the Service Roads, east of Kennedy Road, and then hang cables and new temporary traffic signals between the poles. Following installation, the temporary signals will be tested. 

Once testing is complete the new temporary traffic signals will come into effect.
