The City of Toronto says a section of the northbound Don Valley Parkway is scheduled to be closed overnight for the safe demolition of an abandoned building that caught fire in Riverside.
Starting at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, the northbound lanes will be closed from eastbound Gardiner Expressway at Jarvis Street, with northbound access resuming at Dundas Street.
According to the City, the Don Roadway, Eastern Avenue and Queen Street ramps will remain closed during the demolition.
The lanes of the DVP are expected to reopen at 6 a.m. on Friday.
These show just how close Matilda St. is to the DVP, & why closures are necessary to ensure the safety of emergency crews and motorists. The NB DVP will be fully closed from 7:30pm tonight until 6:00am to allow emergency operations to continue safely. @cityoftoronto #Toronto pic.twitter.com/cFTKYvmgyA
