Ongoing improvements to Aurora\u2019s busy Yonge and Wellington intersection will continue this week with road resurfacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next phase of the project, which will include when finished a new right hand turn lane onto Wellington for southbound Yonge traffic, will take place overnight this week between August 24 and August 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCoco Paving Inc. has scheduled the resurfacing of the Yonge Street and Wellington Street intersection for the week of August 22, 2022,\u201d said Anca Mihail, Manager of Engineering and Capital Delivery, for the Town of Aurora, in a letter to impacted properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe resurfacing work includes grinding the existing asphalt into two stages, adjusting existing valve and maintenance hole lids and paving the intersection in two stages,\u201d Mihail continued. \u201cThe majority of the resurfacing work will be conducted between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. over the course of several nights. The Town understands there will be noise associated with resurfacing operations and we do apologize in advance of this. However, overnight work will minimize traffic disruption and will help ensure pedestrian and motorist safety, especially given the amount of traffic that the Yonge Street and Wellington Street intersection experiences during daytime hours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is anticipated, she added, that \u201csome on-street parking will be impacted\u201d during the resurfacing phase of the refurbishment and the letter included a request to business owners to ask their customers to use parking lots behind Yonge Street businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further updates on the project can be found at engageaurora.ca\/yongeandwellington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional works included as part of this refurbishment include a resurfacing of the Rainbow Crosswalk, maintenance costs for which have been provided by a private resident donor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
