Guiderail improvements on Metro Road North

York Region is improving the steel beam guiderails on Metro Road North, east of Civic Centre Road and west of Lagoon Drive. Guiderails provide a barrier between the roadway and potential hazards. This work includes removing and replacing or repairing guiderails and will ensure they meet current standards while increasing safety for road users. 

York Region is aware of the memorial at one of the guiderail locations and has engaged with the family regarding removal of the items before work begins.

Duration: July 2026

Impacts to Travellers

• Work will occur Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
