As part of the Stage 2 O-Train Light Rail Transit (LRT) project, Corkstown Road will be reduced to one lane open to eastbound traffic between the westernmost entrance to Wesley Clover Parks and the easternmost entrance to Wesley Clover Parks.
What: Construction work along Corkstown Road, between the westernmost entrance and the
easternmost entrance to Wesley Clover Parks. Traffic will be reduced to one lane open
to eastbound traffic.
When: As soon as Monday, May 15 2023 for approximately eight weeks. Work will be occurring
from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., on weekdays and weekends.

along the north and south side of Corkstown Road. Day and night construction is necessary
to complete critical project work that is time sensitive, and to limit the traffic impacts of
the closure.

Anticipated Impacts
Wesley Clover Parks and Wesley Clover Parks Campground will be accessible via March Road and
Moodie Drive.
Local traffic will be able to access Corkstown Road from March Road up to the westernmost entrance
to Wesley Clover Parks and from Moodie Drive up to the easternmost entrance to Wesley Clover
Parks. Flaggers will be present at the two entranceways to facility flow of vehicles to and from Wesley
Clover Parks. Flaggers will be present to control the opposing traffic movements in the single lane
available during the working hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Excavators, bulldozers, concrete trucks, compactors, and pavers will be used for construction and
road rehabilitation. Noise from equipment will be audible and some equipment may cause vibrations.
Trucks will deliver granular material, asphalt, and concrete to the site, and will haul away excess
excavated material. Noise from equipment and moving of material will be audible.
Site lighting and generators will be used to power lights which are a safety requirement for overnight
work. Crews will place and/or direct the light away from residences to mitigate any 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.
