Road preservation work happening across Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan

York Region is applying a road preservation treatment, called microsurfacing, to 19th Avenue, Bayview Avenue and Yonge Street. 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.

Duration: June to November 2026

Impacts to Travellers

• Microsurfacing will occur on 19th Avenue, Bayview Avenue and Yonge Street:
  • Monday nights through Saturday mornings, 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
  • Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • The roads will remain open to traffic; however, lane restrictions will be required
  • Access to homes and businesses will be maintained 

As with all construction projects, work may be rescheduled due to weather. York Region will provide advance notice where possible.
