Eglinton delays in Leaside beginning immediately

There will be new construction zones on Eglinton Ave E. in Leaside beginning as early at Monday morning (April 28, 2014).  The first one will be the occupation of the northern three lanes of Eglinton for several months in the area west of Bessborough Drive and Donlea Drive to just east of Hanna Road. This will be to construct headwalls for the emergency exit building needed presumably if passengers are unable to exit through normal entrances. Here is the traffic information as described by Metrolinx: Traffic will be shifted to the south side of Eglinton and reduced to one lane in each direction near Donlea Drive from west of Bessborough Drive to just east of Hanna Road. Lane closures will protect the general public and allow different construction crews to perform their work safely. Other limited lane closures will follow to accommodate other activities required for the work. Parking will be restricted along the north and south side of Eglinton in this construction zone. Left turns from Eglinton onto Bessborough Drive and Donlea Drive will be prohibited This link has more. Then further east, work will begin on headwall construction and water main relocation to permit the building of the Laird station  The work zone will extend approximately from Brentcliffe Road to Laird Drive along Eglinton.
