\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The transformation along Highway 7 in Markham continues and the excitement is building. While we are all happy with the results of the completed section of Highway 7 East, there\u2019s still work to be done on the remainder from Highway 404 to Warden Avenue. We are working hard towards completion and opening of the remaining 5 stations by the end of the year and making the most of every sunny day.<\/p>\n

Crews have been busy with road widening, boulevard and centre median work and are now paving.\u00a0 When you start seeing the steamrollers, you know the job is getting close to being completed.\u00a0 There are a few steps to rapidway paving work which include street painting of the crosswalks, and paving of the red asphalt for the rapidway. \u00a0Right now crews are working on base layer paving from Allstate Parkway to South Town Centre Boulevard, as well as line paving and traffic switching.<\/p>\n

Sometimes you may wonder why we\u2019ve returned to an area even though it seemed like we were finished. In fact, what you\u2019re seeing is that we are coming back to complete work which has to be done in layers. \u00a0Everything has a sequence and a process to finish the job. Paving requires only a few hours, but new pavement can\u2019t be travelled on right away. We schedule paving work carefully to try to avoid paving during the most congested times of the day.<\/p>\n

To minimize overall duration and immediate impacts to motorists, residents and businesses, crews will be working overnight and on weekends \u2013 weather permitting. This enables work to be completed in an area or on a piece of the construction that has a higher impact so that crews can then move on to the next section. To ensure safety during paving, police officers will be onsite to direct traffic and assist pedestrians.<\/p>\n

The good news to remember is once the final paving is finished, we will be that much closer to opening the next section of the rapidway along Highway 7.\u00a0 Think sunshine!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
