Getting around town during the Victoria Day long weekend just got a lot more difficult: the Gardiner Expressway is closed for spring cleaning and maintenance.
The route — all lanes between Carlaw Avenue and the Humber River — shut down at 2 a.m. on Saturday and won’t reopen until 8 a.m. Monday.
The closure means the alternate routes — Lake Shore Boulevard and the Queensway — will likely be busier than normal.
The city of Toronto says crews are working on a variety of projects, including the following:
- continuation of work on the Jameson bridge
- deck repairs
- repairs to bases of light poles
- spring catch basin cleaning (for water drainage)
- maintenance of pavement markings and signs
- maintenance of closed-circuit television cameras
- inspection and repair of overhead signs
- RESCU vehicle detector repairs
- guide-rail repairs
- expressway sweeping and litter removal.
