Previous delays, combined with periods of adverse winter weather, COVID-19 related labour shortages and supply chain issues, deferred substantial completion of Stage 2 work (KQQR intersection, The Queensway and King Street West) to early September 2022. Minor elements of Stage 2 work on the The Queensway will be carried over to Stage 3.
Work on Stage 3 (final stage) started on Tuesday, September 13, 2022. Full completion is anticipated for mid-March 2023. To facilitate this work, Roncesvalles Avenue was closed to through traffic (Queen Street West to Harvard Avenue). King Street West has re-opened to through traffic.
During construction notification is provided to inform local residents, businesses and institutions of temporary disruptions to local roads, parking and travel. Notification about construction is sent via Canada Post delivery and to the KQQR email contact list.
Work Hours
Work will take place Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Additional evening and weekend work hours may be required.
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.
Parking
Parking in the active work zones is not be permitted as space is needed for construction equipment and materials. If your parked vehicle affects construction work, it will be relocated with no charge to the owner. If your vehicle is moved, please contact parking control for its location at 416- 808-2222.
During Stage 3 construction, Pay & Display (metred) parking will not be permitted on Roncesvalles Avenue (Queen Street West to Harvard Street). Pay & Display continues to be permitted north of Harvard Street and along Queen Street West. There is also a Green P lot within the vicinity at 1624 Queen Street West.
In addition, permit parking will be removed on Grafton Avenue to allow for a temporary two-way street operation. This is to facilitate access to Sunnyside Medical (27 Roncesvalles Avenue) due to Grafton Avenue normally operating one-way ‘west’ and there not being access to Roncesvalles Avenue due to the road closure. Displaced permit parking holders on that street are being accommodated.
