Garfella Bridge

Toronto Hydro-Electric System Limited is in the process of upgrading the underground electrical system in this neighbourhood. As part of The City of Toronto’s reconstruction of Garfella Bridge, Toronto Hydro will be constructing underground ducts.

The area affected includes Garfella Drive Bridge located on Garfella Drive between Mount Olive Drive and Bulbourne Road (over Albion Creek). Once civil construction is complete, the area affected by a planned power outage will include Dorward Drive (North), Silverstone Drive (East), Stevenson Road (South) and Martin Grove Road (West).

The scope of work includes open trenching and the installation of concrete encased ducts. All construction work for Project Garfella Bridge will take place within City of Toronto property. Access to Garfella Drive Bridge will be temporarily restricted. Parking lanes will be used by our crews which will reduce traffic to single lanes in each direction.

During the course of our work, you may experience some power interruptions. They will be necessary to switch from the old to the new supply arrangements. We will endeavour to keep the interruptions to a minimum and to give you prior notice.

Our contractors, Entera Utility Contractors and SNC Lavalin, are sensitive to local concerns and will work to minimize disruptions to local residents. Toronto Hydro’s contractor will temporarily restore our area of work. The City of Toronto will make permanent restorations as season, weather and scheduling permits.  We appreciate your cooperation and ask that customers exercise caution around construction areas.
