Road Improvements:

  • York Region is removing and replacing asphalt road surface on Old Homestead Road from Woodbine Avenue to and including the intersection of Warden Avenue and on Woodbine Avenue up to approximately 600 metres south of Old Homestead Road 
    • Traces of asbestos are present in the current asphalt on Woodbine Avenue 
    • Asbestos was used in asphalt mixes throughout the 1970s and early 1980s to improve performance 
    • The risk of exposure to asbestos for workers and bystanders is low 
    • As a precaution, York Region’s contractor will take protective measures during removal of existing asphalt containing traces of asbesto
  • Replacing culverts that allow water to flow freely under the road 

Impacts to travellers: 

  • The road will remain open to through traffic; however, temporary lane closures are required:
    • Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
    • Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
