Investigation of Underground Utilities between Birchmount Road and Rosemount Drive

What Work is Taking Place?

In support of construction of the future At-Grade stops, crews will be conducting subsurface utility engineering (SUE) investigation work along Eglinton Avenue East between Birchmount Road and Rosemount Drive.

Crews will drill bore holes and use a hydro-vacuum truck within the City’s right-of-way and roadway to determine the location and depth of existing underground utilities for design purposes.

Once the work is complete, roads will be backfilled and restored accordingly.
