Watermain replacement and improvement
Rescheduled notice of temporary traffic impacts – Elizabeth Street South and Queen Street West. Project 18-1380
The Region of Peel has been working in your neighborhood to replace the watermain along Queen Street West. This work is required to maintain and improve existing water and wastewater services.
At this stage in the project, temporary lane closures and turning restrictions will be required to complete this work.
Traffic impacts
It will be necessary to dig a temporary trench in the eastbound lanes of Queen Street at Elizabeth Street South.
For this reason:
- It will not be possible to turn onto Elizabeth Street South from Queen Street West.
- It will not be possible to turn onto Queen Street West from Elizabeth Street South.
A detour route will be clearly marked with road signs. Residents who live on Elizabeth Street South will be able to access their homes from Wellington Street West.
- During this time, Queen Street West will be reduced to one lane in each direction at Elizabeth Street South. Please expect delays and choose alternate routes if possible.
These temporary traffic impacts were delayed and are now expected to occur from 7 a.m. on Monday, March 6, 2023, until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 22, 2023. We apologize for any delays or inconvenience resulting from these traffic impacts.
