What Work is Taking Place?

As part of the continued support of excavation works and utility relocations for the future Science Centre station, traffic staging at the intersection of Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue East will be changing as early as May 11, 2017.

On the west side of the intersection, utility relocations and road widening continue on the northwest and southwest corners. On the east side of the intersection, support of excavation work requires a new work zone in the centre of the road; traffic will be diverted on either side of the work zone.
