Repairs to the aging Gardiner Expressway are set to begin this week and will continue until December.

Two eastbound lanes from Jarvis St. to the Don Roadway will be closed for construction until December this year and commuters are advised to plan ahead.

The city said the full 18 months of construction will be “scheduled in stages” and there will be several short-term lane restrictions and closures.

This week’s closures include:

The eastbound Gardiner curb lane from Spadina Ave. to west of Lower Jarvis St. will be closed on Wednesday.

The eastbound on-ramp at Jarvis St. will be closed from Wednesday to Friday.

Two eastbound lanes will be closed from Lower Jarvis St. to Saulter St. from Wednesday until Dec. 1.

Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong, chair of the city’s public works and infrastructure committee, has asked Torontonians to be patient about the repairs to “ensure the Gardiner continues to remain safe.”

These repairs may also affect pedestrians as pathways and bike lanes may be closed for safety reasons when work is taking place in the area.
