Notice of compound construction - Highway 27 and Rutherford Road
York Region 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.
Project Duration
- Fall 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
Description
- The sewer pipe will be installed by tunnelling, requiring construction of a compound at Highway 27 and Rutherford Road
- Compounds are enclosed temporary work areas, where tunnel boring machines are launched or received; they are enclosed to limit disturbances, noise, dust and most work will occur underground
Impacts
- Access to all businesses 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
- Construction hoarding will be installed around to the work area to limit any disturbances
As with all construction projects, some work may be rescheduled due to weather or other conditions. York Region will provide advance notice where possible.
