What is happening?
The first step in the construction of the Mount Dennis Station requires the demolition of the Photography Drive Bridge deck, which was closed in 2002. The Photography Drive Bridge is located over Eglinton Avenue West between Black Creek Drive and Weston Road. Eglinton will be closed between these streets during the demolition.
How:
- Beginning in February 2016, a crew will move equipment on-site and prepare the bridge deck for demolition.
- Toronto Hydro will remove street lamps and reuse them elsewhere.
- Asphalt, concrete and steel girders will be removed from the bridge and recycled.
- Jersey barriers will be installed to redirect traffic and to protect workers.
When:
- The bridge demolition will be from 9 pm on Friday, February 19, for 50 continuous hours to 11 pm on Sunday, February 21.
- Demolition could be rescheduled due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.
Where:
- Our crew will be visible along Eglinton Avenue West in the vicinity of Black Creek Drive and Weston Road.
Traffic and Transit Details:
- For the safety of workers, motorists, and residents, Eglinton Avenue West between Black Creek Drive and Weston Road will be closed during the bridge demolition.
- Eastbound through traffic on Eglinton will be rerouted south on Weston Road and north on Black Creek to continue east on Eglinton.
- Westbound through traffic on Eglinton will be rerouted north on Black Creek via Trethewey to Jane or south on Black Creek to Weston Road to continue west on Eglinton.
- Message boards and paid off-duty officers will be used to alert motorists during the closure.
- Access to the No Frills will be maintained from Black Creek Drive. The Eglinton access to No Frills will be closed for the weekend.
Pedestrians:
- The sidewalks on the north and south sides of Eglinton between Weston Road and Black Creek will be closed during the demolition.
- As always, please take care when travelling near construction areas.
Thank you for your continued patience as we work to build this important project.
