Subway construction closes Highway 7 to all traffic,
early May 24



The Region of York and the City of Vaughan are closing

  • Highway 7 between Edgeley Boulevard and Jane Street

from 4 until 5 a.m. tomorrow, Thursday, May 24,

while TTC contractors move heavy equipment from the north side of the roadway to the south side. The move is part of the ongoing project to extend the 1 Yonge - University - Spadina subway to the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre.

York Regional Police officers will make sure that traffic flows safely and redirect traffic to alternate routes.

The City of Vaughan has amended its noise by-law to allow the contractor to work overnight and weekends, if necessary, to reduce disrupting traffic over a long term and to keep the project on schedule.

The work may delay early-morning buses operating along York Region Transit’s Viva orange route or Brampton Transit’s 501 Z¨m Queen route.
