Construction on Islington Avenue in Vaughan starts Aug. 31 to make roadway improvements, according to the Regional Municipality of York.

JUST THE FACTS:

• The stretch of roadway between Hwy. 7 and Steeles Avenue will undergo a removal of asphalt covering prior to the laying of new asphalt.

• Additionally, the project will include the installation of pedestrian accessibility features including push buttons, curb depressions and tactile, or raised walkways.

• During construction, Islington Avenue will remain open to traffic and access to residences and businesses will be maintained.

• However, to accommodate construction, temporary lane reductions may be required between Monday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

• To accommodate paving, lane restrictions will be in place between 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.

• Roadwork is expected to be completed in the late fall.
