Temporary Road Construction (PDF)

Two temporary roadways have been constructed on York University’s Keele campus to accommodate the York University Subway Station construction at the east end of the Harry W. Arthurs Common. These temporary roadways will allow transit vehicles to continue to serve the campus core throughout the station construction period.

The roadway construction work this summer included:

• building a temporary north-south road through Harry W. Arthurs Common;
• widening a portion of the south arm of York Boulevard, (south side of the Common) west of Ian Macdonald Boulevard; and
• constructing a temporary roadway to parallel the south arm of York Boulevard east of Ian Macdonald Boulevard to James Gillies Street (along which traffic will be diverted during the subway station construction).

Construction of these temporary roadways is expected to be completed on September 12, 2010.
