Due to severe weather on Monday July 8th, the overnight work that was scheduled to take place on Leslie Street, south of Lake Shore Blvd was cancelled. This work has been rescheduled for Monday July 15th. Traffic configuration and work times will remain the same as originally outlined.
On Monday July 8th there will be overnight construction work occurring on Leslie Street between Commissioners Street and Lake Shore Blvd.
This is to facilitate work on underground water infrastructure and will require occupying one southbound lane on Leslie Street.
