Toronto Road/Ridout Street Intersection Closure – November 17, 2026

Residents are advised that the intersection of Toronto Road/Victoria Street South and Ridout Street/Lakeshore Road will be closed beginning on Tuesday, November 17.

If possible, please avoid the area and use an alternate route, as traffic delays are expected. We recognize that this corridor is an important travel route for many residents and businesses, and we appreciate your patience and understanding while this necessary work is completed.

This closure indicates another significant milestone in the Victoria Street/Toronto Road Construction Project as crews will be paving the intersection now that all underground work is complete. To ensure the safety of the community and workers, the best option is to close the intersection while the work is being completed.

Additional information:

• During the closure period, local detour routes will be in place and clearly signed to direct traffic around the work zone. Please obey all signage and traffic control personnel. Detours include:
  • Ridout (West of lights): Ridout Street to Short Street to Bruton Street to Toronto Road
  • Ridout (East of lights): Ridout Street to Bramley Street N. to Charles Street to Toronto Road
  • Victoria Street North: Victoria Street N to Charles Street to Bramley Street N. to Ridout Street
  • Toronto Road: Toronto Road to Charles Street to Bramley Street N to Ridout Street
  • Trucking Route: Heavy trucks are to use Jocelyn Street to avoid the closure
• There will be no sidewalks/pedestrian access through the intersection. Please use caution and obey all signage/closures if you are walking in the area.
• For safety and emergency vehicle access, there will be no parking on Charles Street and Bramley Street North during this closure.

Transit Impacts

Transit Route A will be detouring around this area for the duration of the closure. As a result, stops A8, A9, A10, A11 and A12 will be temporarily out of service. If you require transit service while the stops are unavailable, please contact the Supervisor, Transit at 905-885-9891. Our team will do their best to accommodate riders, where possible, using the ROLLS vehicle.

Please note: This date is weather dependent. In the event of rain or other adverse weather conditions, the closure and associated construction activities may be postponed and completed on the next available working day. If this is the case, we will provide updates to this notice.
