Warden Avenue Road Widening between 16th Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive in the City of Markham - A York Region Reconstruction Project in an Environmentally Sensitive Area

Warden Avenue is a major north-south arterial roadway under the jurisdiction of The Regional Municipality of York (York Region). It is located in the City of Markham and lies within the Rouge River watershed, under the management of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). In 2013 and 2014, Warden Avenue was transformed under a unique road improvements project that comprised of widening and reconstructing a two kilometre section of Warden Avenue between 16th Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive. This project was particularly challenging as there were three significant and sensitive watercourse crossings to consider: Carlton Creek, Berczy Creek South and Berczy Creek North, as well as the required Berczy Creek Outlet Stabilization works performed at the southwest corner of the Major Mackenzie Drive and Warden Avenue intersection. This project was nominated for the TAC 2015 Environmental Achievement Award.
