Notice of construction at Highway 27 and Rutherford Road
The Regional Municipality of York is building a new 11-kilometre gravity sewer pipe along Rutherford Road, Highway 27, Highway 7, Islington Avenue and Steeles Avenue West in the City of Vaughan to provide sustainable wastewater servicing and accommodate future growth in the west Vaughan communities.
Description
- The sewer pipe will be installed by a tunnelling process, requiring the construction of eight compounds along the 11-kilometre route and construction of a compound at Highway 27 and Rutherford Road is beginning
- Compounds are temporary work areas, where the tunnel boring machines are launched or received; they are enclosed to limit disturbances, noise and dust and most work will occur underground
Project Duration
December 2024 to fall 2029
- Working hours are Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; overnight and weekend work will happen as needed
Impacts
- Access to all businesses and homes will be maintained
- There are no planned impacts to water or wastewater services
- Due to the nature of work, there will be additional construction vehicles in the area; there will be periodic delays due to the movement of construction vehicles
