Toronto's Don Valley Parkway (DVP) will be closed for the entire weekend starting Friday evening, as crews conduct essential repairs and maintenance. The closure, announced by the city, will affect a major stretch of the highway, impacting commuters and travelers.
Closure Details
The DVP will be shut down from the Gardiner Expressway to Highway 401 beginning at 10 p.m. Friday and reopening by 5 a.m. Monday. This closure is necessary for resurfacing, bridge repairs, and drainage improvements. Drivers are advised to use alternate routes such as the Allen Road, Bayview Avenue, or local streets.
Impact on Traffic
This closure is expected to cause significant delays, especially during peak hours. Public transit options like the TTC and GO Transit will increase service on affected routes. The city recommends carpooling or working from home if possible.
This is part of a larger infrastructure renewal plan to improve road safety and longevity. Similar closures may occur in the future as part of ongoing maintenance.
