When:    
Wednesday, August 27 and Thursday, August 28 nightly from 11 p.m. until 5 a.m.

Where:   
Highway 417 Westbound from Pinecrest Road/Greenbank Road to Bayshore.

Detour
Motorists travelling northbound on Greenbank Road looking to take Highway 417 westbound will continue to Richmond Road and turn left. They will then access Highway 417 westbound using the on-ramp from Richmond Road.

Anticipated Impacts
Motorists should adhere to detours, traffic control signage, posted speed limits, allow for added travel time and use extra caution when moving through active construction corridors as traffic patterns change.

Pedestrians and cyclists should use extra caution and adhere to posted signage when localized detours are in-place, to ensure safety.

The safety of the public and workers is paramount,
and we thank you for your patience during construction.
