work hours*: 7am–5pm [24hr/day lane closures]

• To accommodate culvert work, a short segment of the curb lanes [eastbound and westbound] on Hwy 7, east of Wigwoss/Helen will be closed.
• At times, pedestrians may be detoured to the sidewalk on the opposite side of Hwy 7 from where work is happening. Directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open sidewalk.
• Some weekend work will be required.

crosswalk street printing at Millway Ave. & Hwy 7:

work dates*: Saturday, Nov. 4 & the week of Monday, Nov. 6
work hours*: 7am–5pm

• To accommodate preparation work for crosswalk street printing at the Hwy 7 and Millway intersection, curb lanes in both directions in the area will be closed on Saturday.
• Starting Monday, crews will start installing the street printing at the intersection's crosswalks.
• Crosswalk street printing refers to road markings that clearly show where pedestrians are to cross the street at signalized intersections. The stamping gives the impression of a cobblestone path on the road.
