Overnight rail work by TTC may consist of moving new rail into position, rail installation and rail welding/grinding.
Noise: The contractor is responsible to minimize construction related noise. Higher levels of noise can be anticipated during concrete breaking work.
Dust: The contractor is responsible for minimizing dust in the work zone.
