The Region of Peel is building a new water main under Burnhamthorpe Road between Grand Park Drive and Cawthra Road.

JUST THE FACTS

• The Region is constructing a 1,500- millimetre (60-inch) water main.

 

• For tunnelling operations, crews have begun construction on a series of deep shafts up to 25 metres along Burnhamthorpe Road.

• These shafts are located just east of Grand Park Drive (on the south side), Hurontario Street, and Central Parkway. Shafts will soon be constructed on Cawthra Road.

 

• The Region is also installing a 1,200-millimetre sanitary sewer in a tunnel along Duke of York Boulevard and Burnhamthorpe Road.
