Trans Power will be mobilizing along Salem Road at the Hwy 401 off-ramp during the from February 9-13 and again on February 26 dates with closures necessary to complete the work.
Crews will be on site at variable shift times with closures depending on what work is required. There will be traffic controls set up as well as signage to indicate the closure as well as detour routes for traffic travelling along Highway 401 as well as along Salem Road.
February 9-13:
- 8 p.m.-5 a.m. with two crew shifts per day. Two left lane (northbound turn) closure of the off-ramp of Highway 401 eastbound and one left turn lane to southbound Salem Road at the Highway 401 westbound off-ramp.
