The streets will be bustling again this weekend thanks to several big events and the closure of a portion of the Gardiner Expressway will make getting around more difficult.
Danforth Avenue between Broadview and Jones Avenues will be off-limits to vehicles for the annual Taste of the Danforth, which runs Friday through Sunday.

The closure takes effect Fri. at 11am. The street will reopen to traffic Sunday at midnight.
And the Gardiner Expressway will be closed in both directions between the Don Valley Parkway and the Humber River for bridge repairs. The closure takes effect at 2am Saturday. The highway will reopen at 5am Monday.
Other big events around the city aren’t causing road closures, but they could snarl traffic in certain areas. The Jerkfest Food Festival starts at Centennial Park Saturday, Toronto FC has a match at BMO Field in the afternoon and Tim McGraw has a show at the Molson Amphitheatre that night. On Sunday, the JerkFest Food Festival continues and Paul McCartney plays the Air Canada Centre.
