On this date, the road is scheduled to re-open to traffic.<br /><br />The City's engineering consultant reviewed various alternatives and construction methodologies to increase the safety of the slope and has determined the most cost effective method possible to do this work. City staff has worked closely with the local Councillor to ensure that the work will be completed as quickly and safely as possible.<br /><br />We understand the impact the extended road closure continues to have on the community and the public's desire to have this work completed as soon as possible. Unfortunately, as has occurred in this project, construction work can be unpredictable and unforeseen circumstances can result in delays. It has always been our intention to open the road as soon as the work at the site meets our standards and specifications and the road is safe for the travelling public.<br /><br />We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the extended road closure and appreciate your patience and understanding.<br /><br />Further information about other road closures is available at www.toronto.ca/torontostreets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
