We’re is hosting a virtual open house to present plans for the Speedvale Avenue Phase 1 road and bridge reconstruction project. Speedvale Avenue is deteriorating and needs to be repaired. Work will take place on Speedvale Avenue between Glenwood Avenue to Marlborough Road and includes the replacement of the underground sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main pipes and the bridge. The reconstructed road will have two travel lanes in each direction, sidewalks and multi-use paths. Construction is anticipated take place in 2021 and 2022 and is expected to begin in June 2021. The existing Speed River bridge will be replaced in 2022.
We encourage you to review the documents listed in the right side of this screen, including the project overview for general details about project with maps, structural design drawings and schedules.
The project information package has more information of particular interest to neighboring residents and businesses, including impacts to traffic and property access, tree protection, and a pre-construction inspection of area properties.
Consultation for this project has now closed.
Please stay on top of developments in this project on our main website, and feel free to reach out to the project lead directly with any questions as we prepare and proceed with construction.

The Emma to Earl Pedestrian Bridge is scheduled for construction in 2023. The Speedvale Avenue road and bridge works have been scheduled to proceed in 2021 and unfortunately cannot be delayed until after 2024 due to the need to rehabilitate and improve the existing infrastructure along Speedvale Avenue.
During 2021 pedestrian and cycling access with be maintained across the bridge. While the bridge is being reconstructed in from June to December, 2022, there will regrettably not be access across the bridge.
The incident on Speedvale Ave was due to the rainfall event. We will ensure our contractor connects new sanitary and storm pipes to the existing pipes at the end of the day. This will ensure the water does not flow in the trench.
The proposed width of the sidewalk on the bridge structure is 3.2m wide, which is wider than a standard multi-use path of 3.0m for a shared used facility for pedestrian and cyclists.
Due to constructability of the bridge, pedestrian access across the bridge will not be provided during construction.
There is no temporary or permanent traffic signals are proposed at the Marlborough Road intersection.
Full roadway closure is anticipated from June -December 2022. During the replacement of the bridge, pedestrian access across the river will not be provided. Upon completion of the bridge replacement, a new path will be constructed under the new bridge.
Due to constructability of the bridge replacement, it is unfortunate that pedestrian access cannot be maintained crossing the river during construction.
The project for Emma bridge is under the EA process. Design and construction is anticipated for 2023.

The width of the sidewalk on the bridge structure is 3.2m wide, which is wider than a standard multi-use path of 3.0m for a shared used facility for pedestrian and cyclists. The cyclist will need to dismount when crossing the bridge.
As multiuse paths are provided along Speedvale Avenue, including both approaches of the bridge, the intend is to maintain the connectivity of the MUP. An off-road MUP is proposed to separate the cyclists from the high volume of vehicular traffic of Speedavle Avenue.
