It's that time of year again. Over the next two weekends, both the Gardiner and Don Valley Parkway will be shutting down for their annual spring maintenance.
The DVP will be closed from the Gardiner right up to the 401 starting Friday, April 24th at 8pm, and will reopen on Sunday, April 26th at 6am.
The following weekend, the Gardiner will close from Carlaw to the 427 May 1st at 8pm to May 3rd at 6am.
The closures give the city the opportunity to fix damaged pavement, replace lights, inspect bridged, and clean out catch basis to ensure the highways operate smoothly for the rest of the season.
Of course it will mean big headaches for drivers, who will be left scrambling to find alternate routes.
If you're needing to take the DVP, your best bets are Bayview and Don Mills, though expect those to be much heavier than normal. Gardiner drivers can take Lake Shore Blvd.
