Improvements to a stretch of Keele Street are scheduled to begin starting during the week of May 31, according to the Region of York.

The impacted portion of roadway is from Keele Street to Hwy. 407 and includes widening from four to six lanes with on-street bicycle lanes.

The project also includes replacing the bridge over the CN railway tracks and extending a continuous sidewalk to Hwy. 407 on both sides of Keele Street.

Intersections and street lighting are also to be improved.

The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2023.

The work will be completed in phases to minimize traffic flow disruptions.

Impacts to traffic throughout the project include lane reductions and short duration lane closures between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Due to night work requirements, closing the ramps to and from Hwy. 407 may occur between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Additionally, water service connections to commercial and office buildings may be impacted and asphalt paving will occur at times between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

There are other projects taking place in the area that are being led by the City of Vaughan or York Region.
