Notice of Construction: Road Preservation - Various Locations (Towns of Aurora, East Gwillimbury, Newmarket and Whitchurch-Stouffville)

28 May 2026

Description

  • York Region is applying a road preservation treatment, called microsurfacing, to:
    • Yonge Street, Orchard Heights Boulevard to St. John’s Sideroad and Savage Road/Sawmill Valley Drive to Davis Drive
    • Prospect Street, Gorham Street/Water Street to Davis Drive
    • Green Lane, 2nd Concession to Leslie Street
    • Vivian Road, east of Highway 404 to Woodbine Avenue
    • Davis Drive, Leslie Street to Harry Walker Parkway
    • Leslie Street, St. John’s Sideroad to north of St. John’s Sideroad
  • It is a common and cost-effective way to maintain roads with minor defects and extend the life of the road
  • The road surface can feel rougher and sound noisier after the treatment, but over time, the stones will settle and the surface will become quieter

  • May to November 2026
