What Work is Taking Place?

As early as Tuesday, August 2, 2022, crews at Avenue Station will continue road restoration works on Eglinton Avenue, west of Duplex Avenue.

Upon completion of this work, construction will shift to the south side of Eglinton Avenue and traffic will shift to the north side.

The new Eglinton Connects streetscape and cycle track will be implemented continuously between Avenue Road and Holly Street. Crews will work Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. with overnight work as required.  As part of this work, the existing roadway, sidewalk, and any street furniture and trees will be removed.
