Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway will undergo a significant shut down this weekend as the city works on a major rehabilitation project.
The 35-hour closure will be in effect starting Friday, Sept. 20 at 11 p.m. until 10 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22. Sections of the Gardiner will reopen in phases as work is completed, the city said in a news release.
“During the single 35-hour closure, crews will complete work equivalent to that of more than 30 overnight lane closures ,” the city stated. “Critical maintenance can be completed by multiple city divisions and Toronto Hydro simultaneously in the fastest, safest and most efficient manner.” The city said they will conduct controlled chipping to remove potentially loose concrete from the sides and underside of the expressway, as well as inspect, repair and replace signage and lighting and remove debris, weeds, litter and graffiti.
The York on-ramp will also be closed for construction over the same period, the city said, and will reopen by 5 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 23, ahead of the morning commute. The city said crews will complete concrete and asphalt repairs to the ramp.
