York Region is installing a Multi-Use Path on Yonge Street

York Region is removing the existing sidewalk and installing a multi-use path on the west side of Yonge Street from Joe Persechini Drive to Sawmill Valley Drive in the Town of Newmarket. Multi-use paths are designed to be shared by pedestrians, cyclists and other forms of active transportation and increases safety for all travellers by being separate from vehicular traffic.

Duration: July to September 2026

Impacts to Travellers

• Work will occur Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
• The road will remain open to through traffic; however, temporary lane restrictions may be required
• The sidewalk on the west side of Yonge Street will be closed for the duration of construction and pedestrians will be directed to use the sidewalk on the east side
