A temporary closure on Toynevale Road has been extended and will remain in place until late November, according to a City of Pickering notice.
The closed section runs from 309 Toynevale Road to Lytton Court. The road stays open to local traffic only, meaning residents who need to reach properties within the affected stretch can still do so, but drivers should expect delays and use alternate routes around the area.
The closure is now scheduled to last until Friday, November 27. It began on Friday, October 30.
Why the road is closed
The city says the closure is needed for site servicing work at 313 Toynevale Road. Site servicing typically involves connecting a property to municipal water, sewer and other underground infrastructure, though the notice does not detail the scope of the work.
A service announcement with more information and a location map is available through the City of Pickering's website.
Who to contact
Residents with questions can reach the city's Engineering Services Department, Development Services, at 905-420-4660. Nicolas Sanint, an inspector with the department, can be reached at extension 2034, and supervisor Joe Mitschang is available at extension 2030.
The extension means the closure will overlap with the first snow-clearing operations of the season if winter weather arrives early. Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians travelling through the Toynevale Road area are advised to plan extra time and follow posted detour signage.
The City of Pickering posts road closure notices and other public service announcements on its website, where residents can also subscribe to receive updates by email.
