A Toronto police investigation that closed a stretch of Bloor Street East in both directions between Broadview Avenue and Drumsnab Road has concluded.

Police said northbound lanes of Bayview had been closed at Rosedale Valley Road, and the southbound lanes of Bayview are closed at the Don Valley Parkway (DVP) exit.

The closure resulted in some heavy delays in the area.

The TTC said there was no subway service between Broadview and St. George stations in connection to the same police probe, but service has now resumed.
