Starting Wednesday, January 15, sections of Woodroffe Avenue, from David Drive to Norice Street, will be reduced to one lane southbound.
The southbound lane closure is related to emergency watermain repair work, involving excavation in the southbound lanes of Woodroffe Avenue, replacement of sections of watermain, and reinstatement of the road.
This work is expected to be completed in spring 2025.

Additional Updates
January 17, 2025
Traffic management set-up was successfully implemented yesterday evening. Southbound traffic and transit are being maintained around the work area using the Woodroffe southbound transit and cycling lane between Tallwood//Meadowlands and Norice Street (one traffic lane southbound is maintained). Excavation has commenced to expose and replace the watermain pipe sections. This will occur throughout the weekend and next week.
The City’s water distribution system remains fully operational and reliable and continues to deliver high-quality water to residents. We are aiming to provide another update on construction progress on Monday. We will continue to provide updates throughout the duration of the repair as it relates to the current workplan, schedule and traffic staging.
