If your morning commute takes you along Bayview Avenue south of Gerrard Street, you will have to find an alternate route until at least Tuesday.
The city says a watermain break near lower Bayview Avenue and Dundas Street that forced a closure of the roadway on Friday has been repaired. The presence of underground gas and hydro lines meant the repairs took longer than expected.
However, a city spokesperson says during the course of those repairs, a second break occurred on the same pipe and that will result in the roadway remaining closed from River Street to Labatt Avenue until at least Tuesday.
The watermain in question dates back as far as the 1890s.
