Contractors will be working on improvements on Royal Road just north of Speedvale Avenue West. The work will involve re-grading and paving of the shoulders on both sides of the street and installing a concrete pad at each of the two transit stops. This project is part of the City’s efforts to improve connectivity and accessibility for pedestrians throughout the community.

Work to begin on or around July 24

The work is expected to begin on or around July 24 and will take about 2 weeks to fully complete, weather permitting.

Road will remain open, temporary impacts to driveways will occur
