Work on the 2km stretch of Bloor Street from Keele to South
Kingsway is half complete. The work, which will replace and repair water mains, sanitary sewers, storm sewers and combined sewers, is projected to cost $7.6 million.
"The water mains leak," says Gordon MacMillan, the city's director of design and construction for linear infrastructure. "The joints start to fall apart, there's concern about collapse, so they're all being replaced."
But October, when this work is slated for completion, will only mark a brief respite for area drivers.
"Next year, we are going to be reconstructing the road, so this is just getting the undergrounds done this year," MacMIllan says.
