Construction of Lower Don Trail detour in May
In late May, work is expected to start on a realignment for the Lower Don Land Trail to accommodate work in the Sediment and Debris Management Area (SDMA). The new section of trail will connect into the existing trail just south of the CN Rail Line and allow cyclists and pedestrians to navigate around the future SDMA, hugging the Metrolinx Rail Corridor. This detour is expected to open in June 2020.
Truck routes
Expect some additional truck traffic along Unwin Avenue and Cherry Street through June 2020 as trucks transport soil to new Cherry Street and to the soil stockpile area.

Future road work
The Polson Street & Cherry Street Intersection is being shifted to the east to facilitate the construction of the Cherry Street south bridge. This will include the road, sidewalk and Martin Goodman Trail. This work is scheduled to start May 2020 and be completed June 2020. This new intersection will be controlled by a temporary traffic signal.
Cherry Street will be realigned further west of its current path and connected to two new bridges. Existing Cherry Street and the lift bridge over the Keating Channel will remain open until the new Cherry Street and the bridges open.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During construction of this upgraded intersection, expect temporary lane restrictions.
An additional traffic notice will be circulated closer to the date.
