Drivers and cyclists, be prepared for construction on Bayview Avenue/Prospect Street from Mulock Drive, to just north of Eagle/Gorham streets -- again.

York Region is doing street improvements on the road.

JUST THE FACTS:

The road was resurfaced in 2021 but the region says it is removing and replacing the top layer of asphalt to improve ride quality and will follow with dedicated bike lanes.

Road work started July 19 is expected to be completed by the end of the month. Bad weather could affect the timeline.

There are no additional costs to the region to bring the road up to the high standards outlined in the original agreement with the contractor.

Work will occur weekdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Temporary closures of lanes and entrances will be required.

The region says it understands road construction creates challenges for the community and is working to deliver the project with minimal disruption.
